Sweet as long as you have understanding neighbours. I started the car in the garage yesterday and swmbo came out to tell me she had heard thunder. Then she fell in. laugh2

I too would be interested to learn how many new customer Aeros have actually been delivered. I paid my deposit in March '15 with a then estimated build date of week 7/16. since then I've been given a further 5 'estimated' dates. Confirmed my spec back in mid June when working at that time to a build start date of week 29 - 18th July... but it's shifted twice even since then and I'm currently working to week 35!

On that basis Jimmyp I wouldn't get too excited about a January delivery...

... & having ordered in August '15, a conversation with the factory today tells me I'll have a car in December.
Probably.

That's a further slippage from June's estimate of October-ish.

Morgan are clearly still not sure quite how long it takes to build an Aero 8 - allowing 8 to 10 weeks is the current guidance.

& while I'd love to have the car, the schedule changes do seem to be driven by the desire to improve the car.
Since Morgan will only build it once, I'm happy to wait.

Will

These continued delays will have a negative impact on the factory turnover & profit.

I believe things are getting back on track following some changes made after the delivery of the dealer cars.
