All these items have or are in the process of being fixed but at close to A$90,000 all up they can have it back.....!


Really sorry to hear of your disappointment. I took delivery of my 4/4 sport at the and of April this year. Since then I've done 7500km made up of 3 long trips plus almost daily use until the end of October. The only faults I've had have been

1) couldn't see anything out of the passenger side mirror except when the arm was in the upright position - sorted by 5 minutes with my vice & a pry bar.

2) fairly substantial leaks between the windscreen header rail and the hood while returning from the alps in a torrential downpour, plus hood all saggy by the time we got home. The solutions to the leak abound on this site, though I've not done anything about it yet, and the baggy hood regained it's shape after a couple of days.

3) Misty dial misery once the autumn set in & the air became more humid.

4) the shot cord of the cargo net in the glovebox has become detached at one end & appears to be a dashboard out job to fix - Morgan France can do it on the next service

5) the morgan badge on the back became loose, so I removed the storage bin & retightened it with some loctite.

I have been delighted with my purchase; Morgan France delivered my car impeccably presented and include 4 years of servicing and warranty within the price, so I feel relaxed about them putting right any other faults that arise over the next 3 years. It sounds to me as though your dealer should shoulder the blame for at least some of the faults, which should have been identified and remedied before delivery.
