Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Factory Visit January 2009

Wow, Wow and Wow !! I now know what it is like to be a kid in a chocolate factory...... A great (short) day with David ("Lightsphere" new customer)and Philip (Dealer principal, Morgan Ireland)for David to collect his new stunning 4/4 black sport and me to finalise my spec on Grey 4/4 sport. I will post photos tomorrow of some of the amazing machinery in build, but I will definately let David share with you his much more professional photos of his car when he returns from his collection trip ! Lets just say that as a dye hard Porsche maniac, I can see a whole new collection starting with the 4/4 sport for weekend fun, Aeromax for those lazy days cruising Ireland and a 4 seater to be practical on the school run !! More tomorrow (Watch this space!)
PS Many thanks to David, his wife and Philip for letting me join them today.

It gets you like that at Malvern doesn't it.
Porsche make great cars but for me, this is really what matters. Plus 100 years doing it. That is a serious achievement.

Look forward to the photos Stephen.

The black and grey 4/4 Sports are wonderful. I am not keen on the red or white because I feel the saddle clashes. Perhaps it is just the photo because I thought it would work well with the red?

Great photos. good to see them so busy. I agree the saddle leather looks odd with red.

Hi Trent / John
Agree whole heartedly about the colours (although I think I am slightly biased having ordered Grey!) The white does look really well, but the red does'nt quite match the saddle leather and the Blue just does'nt do it for me. (Not one Green car in production?) Interesting though was the fitment of round mirrors on all the sports (not the usual square as seen before, and the one LHD version in Grey with Motolita wheel, two eared spinners and the above mirrors all fitted at the factory during production. (Maybe this is how they will be coming in thre future?)
Last point at this time if you are ordering a sport order the SPORTS EXHAUST it is unbelievable and sooooo much better than the standard item.

Please note NEW LINK to sub folder !
Apologies
Stephen

I think you need to use the above link, then select "Sport Factory Tour 2009" in the "Albums" box on the left hand side.

(The link posted later does not work as there are no spaces inbetween the words).

Great photos of the factory visit.
