Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Tigger News, Chapter Two.

That was three years ago in September Graham...........

I know - I collected my latest 4/4 a weekend or two later, having had the phone call from BHM that the car was ready, just after we started our trek home from a week in Northumberland.
AsboJohn spotted us in the car park of the services at the top of the M1 an hour plus before we saw you heading north...

Our changeover trip to BHM is set for tomorrow, Saturday 2nd July.

We're planning on getting there early morning. So this draws to an end Chapter 2.

For the record here is the (approximate) build timeline:
It's supposed to take 17 working days and that was bang on..........

Great stuff Dave ...and thanks for sharing your build journey.

You have made me feel really involved and excited too!

Looking forward to seeing Tigger for real ...real soon!

Safe trip tomorrow Dave!

good luck Dave. I hope it is a great car for you both

Well, we'll see won't we, now we're almost into Chapter 3 - early ownership.
This will be a really interesting experience...........
Let's hope it isn't too traumatic.

I'm looking forward to experiencing the difference between the new car and Bumble, who has bedded in nicely.

Are you keeping all 3 Dave or is one being traded in?

No John I don't have a money tree. So Bumble remains at BHM tomorrow, and I believe there is some interest, because narrow Plus 4's are rare.

Good information Dave - it gives me a good idea as to when mine might be ready. Due to go into build now on 11 July - the day we travel back from Le Mans.
Have a good trip down and back tomorrow. I would have come along for the handover to see you and Tigger, but we'll be at a Hopmog event in Canterbury all day (Kings School, don't you know!)
