But on the bright side, perhaps all new cars will have to be collected at Morgans expense from their brand new customer experience centre in Rome !!! hide


Here for a good time not a long time!!

Didn't realise Holdens were no longer a dealership, it isn't all that long ago they were appointed instead of Stratstone in the Midlands.


They sent out a similar email last year but stating all servicing maintenance and rally preparation etc still ongoing.
They have some remaining stock at keen prices too and I believe they will carry on selling secondhand Morgan.

I see that MMC are suggesting (on Social Media) that you should contact “your local dealer” to arrange a Plus 4 Works edition test drive.
No link to a dealer list, that I could see.

I expect they are really struggling to sell the +4 Works edition, far too expensive... £65k!!! £15k more than I expect a similar spec 110 car would be ..

That is such a shame. I bought a lovely ex factory demo/hire +4 4 seater from Peter, who gave me a very fair price when I traded in my Three Wheeler.

I suspect that dealers in the immediate vicinity will not be too upset, Newtown was known for being very competitive...................

Keep up the good work Peter and team.

I wonder who will be the next dealer to leave?

I have witnessed similar activities in another franchise network.
In that case, it was a result of head office management arrogance and a lack of retail experience by the management in question.


Morgan have significantly increased fees to access the "portal" with aggressive terms and conditions to keep a franchise.

A number of Dealers have left and I think you will find there will be more....

I brought my Aero 8 from Peter and it was a most pleasureable experience. A sad day indeed.

Perhaps someone like Currie Motors will be appointed?

Mmm. This is very sad, and a bit worrying.

I know that without the sale of new cars the factory would go out of business, but it's only part of the whole Mog "food chain". It's not as though a dealer who only sells a few units a year is costing the factory money. The smaller dealers are often great brand ambassadors.

Enthusiasm, marque knowledge, good service and back-up are all so important with this sort of car. Often someone who buys a new car will have previously bought at least one second hand one.

This is most odd. Disturbing.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
