Thanks for the feedback everyone. 23 psi front tyre pressure was best.
I took the new car for a ride out to West Bay today and now after 230 miles under its belt it is a much better ride. Really enjoyed ourselves today.

Dave,
Lots of good advice already here. I renewed my king pins a few thousand miles ago and tightness here can give a harsher ride. It took over 1000 miles for them to bed down.
My 4/4 likes to be at 22lbs tyre pressures all round and toe-in set 1.5mm to 2mm.

Had a long chat with Dave in the rain yesterday at Wilton.
His new +4 looks fantastic, the tan leather with green piping is particularly smart, as is the new dashboard layout. For various and complex reasons in the end the factory had but 3 weeks to build his car. They did it.
It seems to me that as with so many things when the factory pulls its finger out it can perform wonderfully well, but the reverse is also possible as Mario has discovered.
Anyway, after recent concerns it seems that his front suspension is bedding in nicely, but we both agreed that a M3W and a +4 GDI or Roadster are a perfect garage combination. Both of us have to work on our financial controllers to make this possible......!!!

If I remember correctly I was told at the factory the normal build time for a traditional Morgan is 3 weeks now, if all goes to plan. I am not sure that the build of Mario's car was the issue, maybe you should ask him.
