The latest from the factory is that the need the car for another 2 to 3 weeks, so it should be ready for Williams by 24th which means I can collect it on 28th November. So that will be 6 weeks from signing the order form....!

The delay seems to be associated with paintwork and paint protection film rectification.

Based on past experience of Aero owners, how realistic is this, or shuld I expect further delays?

Tell them you'll take it as it is and they'll no doubt let you have it tomorrow. You're not MMC's only customer. Why should you be given priority over others?

You seem to delight in belittling MMC. If they aren't fulfilling the sale agreement, cancel it and find a manufacturer you feel comfortable with.

Blimey Ken, had a bad day ?

Peter loves Morgan more than many. He is putting a fair wedge of money where his mouth is.

I think it might be fair to hope that his future P&J arrives soon. No one ever wants to wait for christmas if they can avoid it.

I know mine took a fair bit longer than promised but I stayed true if a little frustrated.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

My car is at the Morgan factory at the moment having some warranty work done and I can't wait to get it back as I am really missing it, sad I know.
I can relate to Peters wish to have his car as soon as possible and didn't take the comments as seeking priority or belittling MMC and as someone who's own car is somewhere in the factory I would be affected more than most if that was the case.
For those of you who are fortunate to have your Morgan at home please don't take the enthusiasm of those waiting to be in the same position as criticism.

Paint is a bottle neck at the factory so repairs will always be a lower priority to weekly output. My plus 8 had to go back for paintwork under warranty and took 3 weeks longer than promised. In the end I was happy to have it back just as I wanted it.

Peter I'm sure you'll have it before Christmas. Just be aware though that we have one each year so if it misses this one it'll be in time for the next hide

You must be climbing the wall.

He could have got the extra two cylinders via three wheels, but that may have caused more palpitations!
