I'm pleased to report that after Kin's 'Undercover' visit to the factory, I now have a chassis number! Delivery time has also been cut by 3 weeks; a slight cause for concern!
I assume demand for the +4 made the factory concentrate on that model to the detriment of the 4/4 orders.

Thanks Brian, car should be ready before the end of this month, but I will collect her in September from Melvyns, he still has some work to do on her.
Will then drive down to France in time for the 'Remparts' at Angouleme on the 15/16th. I just hope the weather improves by then!
Kind Regards

Good news Robert, it would be great to arrange a lunch (if you have time) before you whisk your new car away!

Robert - Back in 'Hot and Humid' UAE complete with Flying Jacket! You can wear it on the ski slope Robert.  As Simon says, it would be good to 'wet' the proverbial baby's head before you disappear off to the wilds of SW France.  Best wishes Brian

Evening Gents,an admirable idea. Any chance of you being in the East Grinstead area lunch time on the 13th September? I will be coming down from Colchester heading for Portsmouth and the over -nighter to Caen.
I had completely forgotten about the Snow Dome!!!!!!!!!!

I've not planned my schedule in detail that far ahead as yet Robert, but do plan to be in UK during September so will do my best to synchronise. Providing I can make it, I'll bring a bottle of Gordon's for the libation. Cheers Brian

Gordan's! Gordan's; Sir! Surely only a Tanqueray No. 10 is suitable for a 'Trad' Morgan baptism ?
Unfortunately, I will have to remain 'Teatotal' that day as 'Arian' is a 'Left Hooker' and I have driven on the 'wrong side' of the road for more years than I care to remember. Had one or two interesting experiences driving 'RHD' cars in the UK, let alone a 'LHD' after a drink, or two.
We can always make up for it at Le Mans (Classic) next year, I'm planning to go with the 'MCF' contingent.
