I’ve never even heard of London Morgan. They are a nice bunch of guys. I spluttered in my morning tea with the wood chassis......😳🙄. Got quite excited when the side photo appears to show the old style windscreen supports.....but it looks like a photoshop mashup. I bet the ARV6 owners get pissed off.....I thought their wheels where meant to be exclusive to their cars! Not wood, the new chassis uses a revolutionary bio-composite material that takes natural fibres, adhesives and bonding processes to produce a strong, resilient material with great impact resistance......

A half arsed pretentious advert does not bode well for quality control - I would like to have seen a price too.
Still think those Cibies look crowded on the front end.
The advert for this car I saw on a Morgan Facebook site last night did not have any howlers in it so I can only assume MMC placed that one.

Maybe they are pitching to a specific audience. Those constantly car swapping, bored of Porsche/Jag/BMW London types that have lots of spare cash and need a new look-at-me accessory for this season.
This could be a good thing as it means they will get bored and sell them come change of fashion seasonand then these cars will fall into the hands of those naughty people who actually love Morgan for other reasons.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Quote - “The London Morgan Roadster, or LMV6, will be available in two striking colourways, a velvety Jaguar Opalescent Blue or a painfully chic Porsche Crayon Grey.“
Love marketing adjectives “painfully chic Porsche Crayon Grey”
Just how painful can a grey paint be?
And who feels the pain, the owner, the observer or the one doing the painting?

Looks like someone's pointed out their error as it's now "The aluminium and ash LMV6"

A bit clumsy that the colours are quoted as... Jaguar Opalescent Blue or a painfully chic Porsche Crayon Grey.
Is the mention of Jag & Porsche supposed to help it's appeal
anyway, what on earth is 'painfully chic' ??? Painfully chic = rip off pricing I susepct

If that proves to be true that certainly will be good news for MMC and the enthusiast owners  .
