I'm going back to the factory when they (eventually) build mine, so I will take some pics of yours .. it'll be in a dark corner somewhere.
You have to laugh, or you really will cry :-)

Well you won't believe this. Literally this moment I have received an email from my dealer. Morgan are now looking to start build Week 34 on schedule (well, the revised schedule). And asking for confirmation of paint colour to start painting next week!!! Gobsmacked.
Sorry, I'm on the floor.

Sorry, I'm on the floor. I feel that way every time something actually happens resembling progress! I last felt it when they told me 2 weeks ago that my car was done and had left the factory! Until I couldn't find it outside the factory..... My advise? Temper Your Enthusiasm. And ask for photos, especially if you are having Graphics applied. Remember that mine were incorrect....twice.

I would be too, they are giving me and my dealer the silent treatment today.

Weird. I can only guess that there is something on your car they are waiting for? But it was supposedly finished two weeks ago, so what was all that about?!

Well it went like this, they said it was done and had left the factory, a friend called the company that moves the cars for Morgan, and they could not find that they had taken possession of the car, the factory was closed but a MorgaN official KINDLY went back there and found the car, but it isnt a car yet, its still a separate body and frame, OBVIOUSLY NOT COMPLETED, and that was about 10 days ago. What it is, and where it is now? I have no clue.
