Long way to Q8 in a 56 reg car transporter.
Enjoy it when it arrives and treat it like a vintage champagne. Pop that cork!

Factory Pdi should be a bit better,hand made we can understand,but there are a few things even a kid can sort out before delivering it to a customer..

That's a shame Q8; there is no excuse for poor pdi. But don't be mislead by the "hand made" label.....these cars are assembled out of made up parts from various suppliers. The only area that could be described as hand made are the wood frame and the interior
Irrespective of that, it should all be in the detail; returns on all the holes and the edges of the exhaust shrouds for example, exactly applied decals, if fitted a proper bonnet strap, etc. I won't mention bump steer and bevel boxes!

totally agree!!! i created a post after i got mine back in march that created a bit of a firestorm as i felt the PDI was a joke and so was the general attention to detail. post can be revisited here http://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/130530/Bespoke_sportscar_or_hastily_p#Post130530which brought me back to the question of trying to figure out what morgan's value proposition was as if you're going to deliver cars that can't even pass the inspection of a lay person than is novelty the only thing you're selling because it sure as hell isn't craftsmanship, engineering or general attention to detail. that being said the novelty factor of the three wheeler is huge and it's a blast to drive when it runs but i do get a bit frustrated when people talk about morgan's attention to detail and craftsmanship being so great. bitching a side, go out and tear up the streets and send pics and videos.
