You can change it as the thread goes along if you wish. Or at least change the title of your reply(as I have).
It is a shame but to tell the truth I always thought the project a little ambitious and I am surprised that they actually took deposits. They really should offer Neil something in return for the use they have had of his money. If not actual cash at bank interest rates at least a credit voucher to be used in the purchase of any Morgan products.

I have always thought they have been weak on proper engineering - all the prototyping and design work seemed to have been done in some blacksmiths shed. Anything technical appeared to be subcontracted to MIRA. I knew a bearing sales guy for many years and he told me that MMC had asked them to propose some improved hub bearings, so he asked them to send some engineering drawings and he would see what they could recommend. "Drawings?" came the reply, "we don't have drawings."
Now of course they have a design office with CAD; I hope there are some engineers in there, not just stylists.

I think the last few comments are a little bit flippant imho.
You are giving the impression that the 3W and the AeroMax have been cobbled together underneath a stylised body. A fag packet job marketed by a perfume sales team.
Don't believe that at all.
Sure, they've been too ambitious for their size and financial capability. They have stumbled for trying to aim a bit too high.
No need to shoot them for it. They've done some good work over all. At a time when many car companies have been trying every trick in the book to sell cars. So the limited edition hype is a risky strategy for a low volume specialised producer, but they haven't done all that badly, considering these tough economic times.

Inevitable, but such a shame. I guess I was one of those people wishing they would make the Eva whilst all the time secretly knowing it was too ambitious.
Shame someone else doesn't pick up the design, beautiful in my view.
