I've never heard of that option being offered by MMC, suggest you speak to your dealer (but not seen a dealer openly offer it either)

Do it yourself. Very satisfying. You'll know it's been done properly, using the best oils, and you'll save a fortune. You'll also learn a lot about the car and be able to spot any potential trouble before it arrives. You'll have to do your own regular front suspension
greasing anyway (a Wanner is a Morgan's best friend) so you may as well do the rest. Not difficult -- I'm getting on for 80 with one working leg and still manage.

Hi Ian
Congratulations on ordering your new Morgan, exiting time.
I'm relatively new to Morgan ownership and whilst I do routine maintenance ( my brother is an old school mechanic and keeps me right) I chose to put my car to Revolutions for what they call a full nut and bolt service. My brother suggested it's best to have the dealer stamp in the service history, at least for the early years of the car.
I would recommend you do the same, sure it's not cheap, but considering what you've paid for the car, well worth it.
I can vouch personally for the quality of Peter's mechanical skills, my plus 4 drove like a new car on the way home from Perth.
Wishing you many happy driving hours, maybe we'll see you on the road sometime.

Ian, I'm in with some of the above comments re self-servicing (done mine for years)
Just be aware that an official dealer service stamp for the first two years could be well worth the cost if you have any future warranty issues

Let your dealer do the first "free" service and check over, which I think is at 1,000miles.
Then at the end of year 1 as Cooperman says, for the warranty.
The next one at Year 2 is worth having done if you want warranty assurance up to 30 months.
