Sales are slow, I can believe that.
When I ordered my first Morgan back in the 80's there was a six year waiting list, a divorce at the time of the build meant that I never even saw my car
But the profit from that meant that another was ordered and three years later I was in the happy position to buy one.
Now as people have said you can have a new Morgan within weeks.
But is that demand slipping, or more cars being produced?
I find it interesting looking at the classic car market, over the last few years the prices of ford crapy's early Escorts and even mini vans have rocketed. Why? In my opinion its people who are reaching a certain age wanting to relive their youth.
I think the Morgan may suffer the same, in trad form its archaic and maybe only appeals to those who are a little bit strange and/or are of a certain age, does it appeal to those in their 30's? Has the Morgan customer base got older? Is Morgan doing enough to attract the younger buyers?
Perhaps we should confess out ages on here and find out, see other thread which I am just about to set up.
Personally, I can remember talking to my dealer back in 1993/4 who was saying that the Morgan factory was in trouble and likely to stop building cars in the near future and almost 20 years on its still there and producing cars and will probably be doing the same in the next 20 years.
Oh yes and before anyone puts me into one of a certain age or a little bit strange, when I picked up my car in 1997 I was the youngest buyer in that year to date.
