2 hours away from the announcement of a new Morgan ! Any comments ? Let the debate begin !!

Did you think they were going to release it like the latest Harry Potter volume? at 12:00am

Maybe it will surprise everybody and be a 3 Wheeler

Hmmm I think there is too much hype and this is the much rumoured and anticipated Aeromax II - which given we've all see the pics of the race car is not technically a suprise.

Anyway, I'm excited to see it in its civvies, I'm sure it will be very beautiful, and I'll be most gutted that I'm not really in the position to even contemplate a deposit.

Fingers crossed someone on here has a deposit down already and will be posting some pics when the time comes!

In a correspondence with Charles Morgan today, he had this to say to me: -

"the car will be at Villa d'Este next week so all our fans have not got too long to wait!

I also like the new aerodynamics of the GT3 car very much but the production car is so much more elegant. Is that a bit of a giveaway?"

He is very passionate about the new model (as you would expect) and I have no doubt that it will be a fitting sibling to sit along side the Aeromax.

As he said, we don't have long to wait now until the public viewing.

Simon,

Will we be seeing the car at Silverstone?

I'm off to get the car serviced tomorrow, have the dealers seen the latest MMC creation?

Well, one thing I am certain of, if my man in the know is correct. I most certainly will not even be able to afford the deposit. I will humbly request permission to park my Trad in close proximity

drum roll.. is it revealed yet?
I hope the rear quarter racecar corner looks more elegant but that it's based on that must be a winner...
roll up and unroll those cheque books....

Hi All
Car revealed today at 15:27 [to be precise] to all the dealers...response from all was WOW ! No photographs allowed but there may be some tomorrow when Princess Anne visits the factory as part of the 100 year celebrations. We will see, or wait for Villa d'Este next week and Silverstone in May. Have not heard yet of the deposit required but probably about Aeromax sums...all hear say so far. So in the best Harry Potter traditions all those interested best go to platform 9 3/4 and place your orders (just for Trevor ! Smile !)

Well, in the welcome departement I promised to keep my sarcasm at bay, so zynicism will have to do.

How was that after the big depression? How many car makers tried to stay in business by going up and up and up? And how many were successful?

As a Swiss I'm praying that certain investors don't go bust....
