I tried the We Want Any Car etc. Websites for a valuation on the Bongo. Reg. no. not recognised. Probably a spares or repair one and as Nick says probably nearer to £1600 than £16.000! The DVLA web site has it taxed, MOTed, and first registered in November 2013. Never sold in the U.K. so would be an import and accepted by DVLA in 2013 and given an age appropriate registration.

Accidents happen. That's life. No one was hurt. Insurance will sort it . Until facts are known re reason for accident, speculation achieves nothing

If you want to buy one of a similar age there's one for sale with a Gosport motor home trader at £14,000. Motor homes, like Morgans, it seems, hold their value. No doubt motor home fans would find Morgan values as inexplicable as some on here find the value of motor homes.

I've got a Morgan and a motorhome. Some would say that you have a good sense of how to invest in assets that maintain their value, others that you are twice as crazy as the general public. We had three weeks in a motor home in New Zealand in January and were more impressed with it than I expected. However being of the equally crazy Morgan and boat owning brigade, my better half says that one of those has to go before we buy a Burstner.

I'm sure it will be all sorted to everyone's satisfaction and in the meantime MMC will have to deal with a local red face and probably change their testing drive routines
Why should the factory change their test drive routines? There's no suggestion that the test driver was breaking any speed limit. . It wasn't a comment about speed at all, it was a comment about the report that implied the driver knew there was something wrong so turned into that road off the main test route. If I were MMC I would find out what went wrong, have a pretest inspection on that particular issue and make sure that if a driver senses something wrong that the car is immediately stopped for recovery In my business I work on a system that if it's gone wrong once, it can happen again however unlikely so you try to mitigate it by putting a system in to not let it happen again

Absolutely, pretty standard practice in any Quality Management approach, especially Lean Manufacturing. Normally, the way it works is that when something goes wrong a "Kaizen Event" is declared, and a Root-Cause Analysis is done (We call it "Asking the 5 'Whys'?") to get to the bottom of how the problem occurred and what events led up to it happening. Then you redesign the process to ensure it can't happen again, retrain everyone involved to make sure they don't repeat the behaviour pattern that led to the failure, and off you go. Process engineering done properly.

Has the poor potential owner come forward yet. It is RHD so very likely it was a UK buyer who was due his car in the next week or two. So someone somewhere will just have had bad news. Who?
