After this long road, I am sure I will post so many photos that people will get tired of seeing my car! I have not yet seen a photo of it completed, so I am not counting any chickens yet!
What was your original build week, Nick? Original was week 23. Then pushed to 27. Dealer said it now looks like mid Aug for completion, with several weeks for shipping.

My car was originally Week 19, and MAY have just been completed Friday (week 30).
I wont believe it is done until I see photos and get a final invoice.
I'm waiting... too late today, obviously. Maybe tomorrow!

Wait a second, let me see if I have this right? They tell me at the end of business on a Friday that the car is done, and that they are going to start charging me storage fees if I don't pay it off within 24 hours, then there's the weekend, and now the factory is closed for a week? Can this be true?

My dealer didn't WANT Morgan to store the car. They felt it was much safer and cleaner waiting at the shipping company's garage for some reason. They wanted it away from MMC right away.

yes, that was also the case with mine.
"This vehicle will be at Kent Vale within 24 hours, which full payment is required to release this vehicle otherwise storage charges will apply."
--> Kent Vale IS the transport company. Morgan wants fully payment for release. Kent Vale gets some % for storage which will happen anyway.

I'm just trying to make this happen as fast as possible. So for this bank holiday, are the banks actually closed all week?
