I think your right. Most of the issues I had were to do with poorly fitted dealer accessories and the car not properly detailed. The factory issues were minor and easily fixed.
The real poser was the lean to the right, in my case some 35 mm. I spotted this when I got the car home and immediately contacted the Morgan agent. He checked the 4/4 on the showroom floor and found the same problem. Since then I have been made aware of two more cars delivered around that time with the same problem. Yesterday I got a call from another very unhappy new 4/4 owner with what looks like the same “lean” plus a list of other problems which at first glance seem to be a mix of dealer/manufacturer issues.
Previous “Talkmorgan” threads have suggested a transport issue – that could be right as I am not aware of a lean problem with cars elsewhere. Australian bound cars are tied down in sealed containers for the trip and it does take 6 weeks, perhaps that’s why they cost so much.
So why the lean and who (or what) is responsible I don’t know. Morgan will only say that the springs were “not quite to specification” when they had finally managed to fix my car in late January.
Now the good news - all has been fixed (well so far so good). In the end I had to contact the boys at Malvern HQ who were very helpful. A full set of rear springs were provided and fitted under warranty and that warranty extended. For the first time my new car is a joy to drive and I still can’t get used to the attention it gets when out on the road.
People have left admiring notes when parked while others want to take photos or ask about the car when I am stopped at traffic lights - the magic of a Morgan.....
