That makes sense....
Some of the styling cues on the 4/4 80th cars are not too popular with everyone, I would prefer a standard 4/4.
That's why I bought my new 4/4 Sport in 2009 as it was a back to basics stripped out car and loads of fun.

I just checked on the MMC car locator and there's an M3W for 48,000 Sterling  . You can buy a good silent running wife for a lot less than that in certain areas of the world  . Nice one Richard, but I bet you wouldn't say that within arms reach of SWMBO !!
Here for a good time not a long time!!

Although relatively new to Morgan ownership (2+ years), I've noticed that MMC update specs (and price!) of new cars to include items that were previously extra cost options. Before this happens its possible to nearly double the base cost if all options are added. The latest Euro 4 spec M3W's are a special case given the range of changes made to comply. KH had a new one in with their own special matt black paint job for £49,000  - amazingly it was soon sold.

And still they will sell .. So you'd think the second hand ones mentioned here on TM would sell easily... No I think if you are in the market for a Morgan you will go for a new one, why would you want a just secondhand one, I think these are the one's that are stalling in the marketplace. The other end they are selling quite well in the well used bracket. Ahem not true, new morgans are out of reach for many of us second hand cars come with the advantages of being "sorted" with many extras added. but we're all different and on different budgets.

There are many brand new owners on here - I have bought new once and that was not good as things kept falling of it and windscreens cracked overnight in the garage. So I went back to the second hand market once more for my third car and unlike the new one has proven well sorted as indeed was my first Plus 8. We all require different cars whether that's due to budget constraints or taste thank goodness. Have you sold yours yet ?

When I bought my car a year ago, a used 3 year old 4/4 was only 10 percent cheaper. Today, just one year later, mine cost 5.000,00€ more!
My Threewheeler from 2014 costs today even 20.000,00€ more (incl. Euro3 look)
Positive: the current price policy ensures value retention...
once: Black M3W with „Jaffa“ leather; 2015

[/quote] Not sold as yet very little interest in the uk but several dubious enquiries from FRANCE, ITALY, GERMANY. ... It's the pound versus euro exchange rate I think. But having sold a classic bike ( 1930 cotton tt racer ex works with provenance ) never again ! They are such messers! So uk only for me I'm in no rush to sell but it will be going ,if not this year next year at an increased price
