Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 European prices

I haven't found any discussion of price here so forgive me if this has already been covered.

What is the normal price that people are paying in the EU?

Morgan website lists the base model as 25k GBP or 30k Euro but the place I'm looking to buy from is asking 36k Euro, before tax. 42k incl VAT (tax)

The prices from Morgan France are (including TVA at 19.6% plus any pollution penalties applicable in France))

MrPB
I wouldn't be surprised if you're going to have to pay a premium especially if you want the car quick, or the dealer is selling you a build slot that he may secure more money for when the sun starts to shine again.

And the secondhand prices are very high indeed.

So I have an idea now what the dealers are asking.

What kind of prices are people actually paying?
You can private message if you don't want to say publicly.

I'm willing to pay the going price but a 20% markup on MSRP seems a bit high and I don't want to get hosed!

You can deal with the factory, I did on mine, not sure about overseas sales, but I doesn't hurt to ask.

If you need I could PM you details

When I ordered my 4/4 sport in May 2010, the UK price including VAT for a left hand drive one was I think £31000 (rhd was £30000). At the time the exchange rate was €1.20 to the pound or so, so this equated to about €37000. At the time the list price of a 4/4 sport from Morgan France was €42000, but this included two eared spinners, round door mirrors and small rear view mirror, a moto lita steering wheel and 4 years warranty and servicing. On top of that I ordered a pack which included a tonneau cover, elasticated door pockets and door handles (which I didn't particularly want, but the kit was a fair bit cheaper than the tonneau and door pockets on their own) and a luggage rack - so the grand total came to about € 43 500.

I figured that of the €5000 I could have saved, some of it was taken up by the extras which come as standard in the Morgan France spec, the extended warranty and servicing made up for a fair chunk of it; there was always the risk that if I placed an order in sterling in the UK there was a risk of the currency moving against me during the 11 months until I took delivery, (which is a risk that the French importer is of course exposed to and must factor into his pricing).

Much though I'd have loved to give the business to BHM who had been superbly friendly and helpful, it seemed fairer and more sensible to place the order with my local dealer who I'd be expecting to maintain the car, not to mention avoiding all the hassle of importing the car and registering it on french plates.

However, if I were looking to buy second hand I think I'd be far more likely to buy from the UK.

You could of "forward contracted"The funds......in mid 2012 I was exchanging at £1.00 to €1.28 this benefit obviously makes a significant saving on an expensive purchase

True, and had I placed the order in the UK that's probably what I'd have done, but it also has costs involved.

Morgan France in Paris have historically sold their cars at higher prices. For the French market there is now an alternative, Marcassus Sport in Toulouse. Don't know their pricing for MTW but wouldn't surprise me if they were cheaper and more aligned with other European dealers.
