The beginning of the end for Morgan?
These big investors are not known for their sympathy with brands, merely profits. While you or I might put our last penny into something we are passionate about, these big investors ONLY care about the bottom line. I worked in business media for 25 up until I retired and it’s an oft repeated formula. If something isn’t making money ( or not enough) it’s canned.
I REALLY REALLY hope I’m wrong, but greed and the lure of money may be the kiss of death for MMC ☹️

Yep, fingers crossed. Between the family infighting, investment required to launch product - never mind to supply and service us after the fact like anything that resembles a proper car company - an external cash infusion could be a good thing. But as Pandy mentions, this is a mercenary VC firm, not a car company. I'll dig into the rep of this particular one. Now...a Guzzi engine, shaft drive, Italian styling, a pair of Ferragamo driving shoes for me....and gorgeous stilettos for the 'next' Mrs. 06032...! Could make a nice pair of M3W's. VC is 'Investindustrial'. Here's their current portfolio: http://www.investindustrial.com/our-business/portfolio-overview/current-portfolio.htmlBut here's the past investment that gets my attention: http://www.investindustrial.com/our-business/portfolio-overview/prior-investments/Ducati.htmlOr integrated with Aston Martin?
