The test Euro 4 car was not visible. I was told it was at Chateau Impney, but I suspect not.

If it was there it was well hidden!

When I met Mark Cerrone at the factory a few weeks ago he explained that, with the old spec run out cars, they fit the long stalk rear lights to get the cars through the SVA approval process and then put them back to the short ones afterwards.

Hi Tim W.
Two things; 1, i can`t see any aero screens on the car, and if the car is for the UK, why have they fitted Euro4 spec lights on it?
Seems a bit of a mash up.
John. Mash up! Morgan? Surely not

I wonder how many Mk1 M3Ws have been produced in the 4 years since production started? I would guess around 2500. It was about 1,700 as of last Sept so assuming say 5-10 per week since then around 1,800 - 1,900. I'm sure there will be something special for the 2,000th

A genuine query based on reading these threads, I would hazard a guess that 20% are experiencing downtime.

I think we have just over 100 5 speeders in our registry, so that really is not a large enough sampling to make any conclusions!

I do hope the 5% is nearer than my guess.

I have just increased that 5% figure. It looks like I have a bit of work ahead.  Have a look at the Centa drive fault if this doesn't look familiar.
