Collecting my car after 12 weeks I sked why it took so long. The dealer said they had been busy with Euro4 spec development. I said S&S will do most of that & its exhaust matching. They had been talking to one of the M3W development people & he said there were changes. An increase in ride height by maybe 3 or 4 inches and a bit bigger but essentially the same look. This is not official info & only a chat. Make of that what you will & wait for an official announcement.
Tim Similar comment from my dealer – about a 4” height increase, although he said overall height rather than ride height. Also there’s the possibility of adopting the Aussie moustache

So the question now is, those with cars on order and deposits paid, have they any right to know what they have ordered?
What I know for sure is that my order is far more expensive now, thanks to increased taxes come July. But I do not longer know what I am buying.
A MTW with Downs, ABS, lumps of catalytic converters, blunted performance?
WHAT?!! All I hear is crickets.(and some rumors on TM)
I fear that the "news" renders the car undesireable, even compared to bog standard early ones.
Very frustrating, this....

4"...wow thats a lot ...too much?
not sure - it would certainly alter the look of the car v significantly.
Lets hope that this is a false rumour - "false news"!!!

I suppose when Morgan used to have waiting lists many years long you never knew exactly what would be delivered but they did not change much in appearance. US buyers may not have been chuffed with the lamp changes & that was not what they signed up for. Would you be in order to reject something materially different than originally ordered?

Similar comment from my dealer – about a 4” height increase, although he said overall height rather than ride height.... That could also explain the comments about the luggage rack being re-engineered. I'm guessing a deeper hump for more luggage space

4" must be incorrect. If that's true Albert Ball will be crawling out of his grave because those M3Ws will literally take off and fly. Rollovers? A daily trick.

So if its overall height increase, how much would be taken in to account with the taller roll hoops when fitted. I`ve got them specked on my build. John.

Many thanks, Keith. No plans to export so not a concern for me. What about resale value?

A roll hoop change would effect the luggage rack.
