Edward I agree, since I am going to add several thousand dollars worth of options to my car they should not charge me extra for the privilege. That is part of why I am having my dealer look at what is the potential cost of just totally cancelling my order.

I agree! But I just do not get having the manufacture taking care of the problems that many owners have and just having the company or outside source manufacture the proper parts to rectify the problems?
From what I have been told it is a difference in opinion between the states and UK between suppliers.
I do not want to get into that but having reliable leads shows that seems to be the problem.
You have simple and great machines. Why is the reliability not behind it?
Just my thoughts here in the US.
Edward

Well I hope business sense and the opportunity of a more expensive order get you what you want!

Hi Everyone I cannot understand the philosophy of the company? I would think that prior to one week to the build you could do the changes in the + side of your cost for no charge. To go - might be a small charge as the profit is reduced. We are in the computer age and to pay the cost you are doing is insane. I still cannot understand getting a vehicle that has problems that the company will not address and you are willing to pay the price and misery for that fleeting moment. Do not get me wrong but to be able to build something that has been totally reliably over 3000 miles by a amateur has me wondering about the whole concept. Just my thoughts and no negative implied. Edward 20160201_105142 by evanbelkom, on Flickr There's absolutely nothing about my very limited dealings with Morgan that would suggest in the slightest that "Customer satisfaction" is something of great importance to them. And, if you read the posts in this forum, other's experience would tend to confirm that as well. Aside from that, what stands out here...and I know this is just me...is that someone who always wanted something so badly...black and red...can so suddenly and completely abandon a life long desire based on..pictures. it's been said...for a reason...that one always goes with ones first choice. That those who give into impulse often regret it. That doesn't change the arrogance of MMC, but it does give pause to abandoning a life long dream.

Dreams are dreams. Some catch their dreams and others just keep dreaming about catching that beautiful dream... I can relate to that. From late teenager throughout my adult life, when I would think of a hot rod of my dreams, it was a Willys coupe gasser style. Like Stone Woods & Cook. Oh and it had to have a blown hemi motor as well. That was the picture in my mind's eye. After drooling for years about it and going to car shows without a car, my wife finally just said sell all of my projects etc and get what I dreamed about. Boy was that a BIG day for me. I built that car and of course black with red leather interior, hot rod style! Well I drove that car to show after show and loved it. Got best of show and class about every place I took it. I put 16k miles on that car over just two short years. But I sold it as I got tired of it, at least that's what I thought. Now it's gone and my wife is still peeved at me for selling it. So that "was" my dream car, but I moved on with something at the time I liked better. I would agree that a black with red leather M3W is very cool and that would have been my choice. I said would have been... Until I saw the pictures of the Heritage model. For me, that epitomizes all that's old and classic. I love that car very much. I could also see it in couple other colors, red/cream and black/silver. I think I would be hard pressed to NOT change to the new Heritage color scheme. Dreams can change, or should I say improve.

Well shucks guys, have had parts on order since November last year. I know why I put up with my frustrations, its because my 2012 with all the warts is just about the most fun I've had with a toy. I'm 82 years old and been a "gearhead" since age 15 with my Doodlebug scooter. My only problem is --can I keep havin all this fun for along time yet, hope so. And Dan you keep it up, do wish you'd cave in and just go out and buy one of these crazy machines and get it over with

Dan,
I've also dreamed about the Willys all my life. I've never had one and wish I had yours. I'd never sell it. Beautiful, classic car.

From Morgan: I can confirm there will be NO charges for any changes made before the spec fixed date. This is 4 weeks before the build week.
We no longer accept changes after this date on 3W anyway, only for 4W.
For your information, amendment fees are now £500 per item changed, not £250 and from 1st April 2016 they go up to £1000 per item!
