Vladimir - hope you enjoyed the day! Decided that Henrietta HAD to have a wipe over, then  HAD to get some curtains for our new house (haven't signed contracts yet !!), so set off for Malvern 2 hours later than planned - to find it was morning tours only  Saw a number of Mogs about, including 2 4 seaters and 3 x 3 wheelers, but didn't note a "13" plate. Weather was glorious on the way and despite a bit of Malvern cloud, temperature was lovely. Granddaughter was chuffed to have a quick run round the hills (her first February topless run - "I love the Mawgan Granddad") and then a leisurely run back via the lanes to Bristol. Fuel gauge read zero  for last 15 miles - but I wanted to put some Nitro in her this time and we got there! Just turned 49,000 on the clock, so greasing tomorrow. Jeremy

Hi Jeremy, Glad you had a nice ride today as it really was worth it going up to Malvern. I went up there with a friend and arrived at 10:45, just in time for a quick & and late breakfast. We then had a factory tour (3rd one for me but it's always good to have a look at what's going on in the workshops ;-). I noticed a strange red narrow body roadster (I guess)at the trim shop, which had dashboard instruments I had never seen before: speedo + rpm reader with concentric circles in the background; silver tainted push buttons; heater button with indicator marks from blue to red around it.  During the buffet which was offered at 12:45, Mark and Steve gave a greeting speech and answered Q&As. Main takeaways were: - Morgan is going global but not too much - Delivery times for news builds are 6 to 9 months - 600 car are expected to be built this year (half 3W, half 4W) - Do not expect big changes this year in terms of new models: mgt board wants to focus and capitalize on the existing production items. After lunch, my friend bought some goodies on sale. Then came trial time: I drove a 3W and was driven in a +8 !!! To sum it up, we loved it! And the drive back was as sunny as the way in

Ref 600 cars planned for 2014, 50/50 M3W and 4W:
If correct, that approximates to 6.2 4W Morgan's per week which is a much lower output than past years.

That sounds like the new red narrow body +4 with the GDI engine that is currently in Geneva, with this dash; http://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showpic&id=17414
