June 2011? Really? Not June 2012? I know these cars have a long delivery but that is really taking the Micheal. I oredered mine in October 2011 and took delivery in May 2012. I think your dealer is taking advantage of you frankly. Ring around to a few dealers in the South, especially some of the smaller ones who will have stock orders in and no customer lined up yet. Try Williams at Bristol for a start. Get your deposit back by hook or by crook and start again. It really doesn't matter who you source the car from, you can always build up a relationship with your local dealer through servicing etc, if you want to.

Hi Paul
I ordered with Monks Heath and we all know what happened to them!
I'm now dealing direct with MMC.
Come to think of it, I'll fire off an email tomorrow and see what response I get.

It does seem a hell of a long wait when they are churning out around 10 a week. At least you will benefit from the improvements to width and pedal box adjustment and by the looks of it a re designed compensator.

Honestly, the longer your wait is, the more likely that bugs and issues that are found in early cars will be corrected before you take delivery. Morgan tends to work less in a model year and more in a fix stuff as it happens, so a car months apart can have very different materials included.

Virtually decided the colour scheme - Sport Grey, shark mouth, RAF livery, bullet holes ( on wife's side), black exhausts. Struggling to choose between black or mulberry leather, but got until March to decide. Welcome to the forum. Looks like you have just the right amount of  to fit right in. I think the mulberry would just look fantastic with grey, it would add a touch of class.

Good news indeed, you'll not only get your car in time for spring, but it will have all the latest mods done and bugs fixed. Hopefully 'all's well that ends well'?

Sadly not going over next week. You may well get the new compensator with alloy component fitted.....to replace this!  The compensator has always been a thing of mystery...I knew that it was packed with a bright blue thick grease but the photo gives some idea of whats in it!
