I agree your point Barry and sorry if my wording made it sound like I was being hard on them. By dropping everything and moving to an all CX range they made a brave leap and are to be applauded for it. It also made it a critical leap and so needed to be followed through in more detail than the traditional processes?
I think they were responsible and acted reasonably quickly. I don't think their communications were particularly impressive which made it worse than it needed to be, as we saw from the noise level generated on TM. I agree re North America being a difficult issue and wonder what would have happened. I do think that anyone buying a Morgan in the US is probably expecting a few SNAFU's as it is a very English car in that respect. Even with the modern CX.
You do have to rely on the component supplier to match their specification but Morgan still need to perform some sort of random inspection to protect themselves (and their customers). It would seem a number of owners commented on the poor feel and performance so brushing it off with a "they all do that" is actually the worst thing you can do. Lets hope one of the new peeps looks into turning the open circuit feedback process into a closed loop one.
Lets hope they don't take their eye off the existing cars out in the field in the rush to new money.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
