Morgan sadly have had a lot of experience over the years of having to fix poorly finished vehicles so maybe, a warranty sum of a few £k is built into the price from the very beginning, so they still come out in profit. It would help to explain the somewhat exorbitant prices of the CX models.
The CX cars are at an entirely different price point when compared with the trad, with greater emphasis on 'hand build bespoke craftmanship'......with that comes a greater expectation (rightly or wrongly) of the inherent quality of the finished product and support infrastructure. Fortunately most CX are the 2nd or 3rd car in a household and for many not the daily driver, where the need for reliability and keeping the car on the road is far more critical.
I hope to have a CX at some point in the future, but I'm still waiting for that 'step' change to arrive, I maybe waiting a while yet. For me, I'd rather they invest in quality parts and demanding build inspections before the cars leave the factory with the dealer network acting as a final backstop during PDI inspections. so those annoying avoidable faults and quality issues are resolved before delivery rather than in warranty claim spend creating inconvenience for their customers.
