It’s a real privilege to be able to drive for recreation and not just transportation. I was really struck yesterday, upon first seeing the car, by how special it is and how fortunate I am to be able to own one.
The whole afternoon of delivery was brilliantly handled by David from Morgan Works London who came up for the delivery, collected me from the station, got me lunch at the Morgan canteen, walked me through every aspect of the car and build, then graciously drove the car around the factory while I took some pictures.
My overwhelming sense was genuinely how special it was to be part of Morgan’s story and history, and the hope that my little Morgan will add to that narrative in its own little way.
The car itself looked brilliant, the care and attention to detail is astonishing. The oak green metallic paint is everything I had imagined and more as it shifts and changes in different lights. The brown leather seats are lovely and proved very comfortable on the 220 mile drive back to the Dales. The white lights and white side indicators look very smart. But perhaps my favourite little bit from yesterday, given how long I was using it for, was the silver and black leather Moto Lita steering wheel. It just brings the whole cabin together aesthetically, and really changes the driving feel from the standard wheel. You really feel you’re driving something that is already a classic.
Now for some pictures from collection. And one last special one of Morgan’s Head of Design, Jonathan Wells, with my little Mog. Was a real treat to get to meet him and talk for a few minutes about the car!
