I understand MMC will announce next month they are stopping trad production. They will introduce alongside the +6 a 4/4 & +4. Prices will be higher than the trad chassis.

I visit the factory in August.
As I see the lot of new chassis outside and the knowledge it fits some other BMW engine I thought: ohoh, that doesn't look good for for the old ones.
So your words "paid to breathe" became a new sence. ;-)

Today there are over a dozen trads in build and the same number of engines.

Thanks for the heads up John, can't help feeling a bit wistful although I know they have to move on up to survive with the new Italian money people in charge.

I think the new Morgan’s will be great but when the price approaches £100.000 they are into a new market where customers will expect
Top service and the perfect car.
I hope Morgan will not forget the traditional Morgan owner .

I was told the new +4 would cost c 50% more than the trad. That puts them up against some very special cars.

KH starting more rumours?
I'll wait for official news direct from MMC. After all, when there is anything definite, there will be notification via the motoring press.

I would not be surprised at all. Pleased I have secured my Roadster build for February. Looks like I could get the last ever trad!!! That does not make me feel good.

Graham,
either they are trying to push up sales of their trads or it is real. It seemed a genuine comment & was made not just to me but to anyone who was in the showroom & asked about Morgans.
Time will tell
