Welcome Captain, great start to Morganeering I'd say!
Ps I'll offer more than Tim to take it off your hands if you don't like it... Fat chance of that I think!
Good luck and enjoy!

Am I right or wrong to think that the ARP4 is good value for money? [At least as far as 'good value' can be discerned when spending upwards of £55k on a toy car!] If you take a standard Plus 4, with a few upgrades at say £45k, it doesn't seem to be a step too far to pay another £10k for the Cosworth engine and the 5 link rear on their own, as well as the other cosmetic bits and pieces that come with it? You have to wonder if MMC are actually making much money on this model?

It seems good ££Value.
I would guess that the Gross Margin on all MMC Cars is very good - possibly other Costs whittle away at the Net Margin.
Difficult to tell from the Accounts.
Steve Morris told us at the TM Sat meet 30.1.16 that they would make 732 (?) cars in 2016.
So you can play around with the ££Numbers to your hearts content.But as said the Gross should be v good!!

I agree with that but note that those ARP4's advertised on the MMC site were nudging £60k with extras. The comparison stands though because a well specced Plus 4 is nudging £50k.
So the £10k difference is good VFM.

I agree as well, although I am sure even with dealer margin, MMC will do OK on a production run of 50 when I look at the price of a decent spec 4 seater Plus 4, it's over £50K now ! The only one thing that would slightly put me off an ARP4 in my situation is the lack of underseal unless they are going to have a clear coat underseal. I Wouldn't want to be too precious about driving it in all weather conditions Or am I being silly? (You can guess who's been under the car for the last couple of weeks)
