I think they will do an expensive limited edition like they did for the final run of v8s. They must know that some of their client base will pay a premium for the last chance to buy a brand new trad Morgan whilst they still can.

Even more expensive limited edition you mean.
For the life of me I can't work out why they don't fit a compliant engine and carry on with the 4/4 as a trad there is demand worldwide and it needn't be too costly after all everything is in place, and really these are the cars that the punters line up to see being built at Pickersleigh road, as an aside I met a nice gentleman yesterday who has owned Morgan's since 1965.

Whilst there’s quite a few compliant engines available, MX5 maybe (?), MMC would have still have to then go through the type approval thingy all over again at a cost of £££££££££.

They think removing a few exclamation marks and replacing the "End of the traditional Chassis" with "in 2019" justifies "which MAY have been misleading". I think that qualifies for understatement of the year. I think it is very misleading, unless it is news that was not supposed to be announced.

I was at the Australian Morgan Muster in October 2018 talking to both Chris Van Wyk (Australian Dealer) and Steve Morris. I queried was it possible to order a 110 Plus 4 and pick it up in 2020 as my wife could not get any leave in 2019 and I liked the idea of seeing my car being made. From what they both said under the impression as long as I ordered a car in 2019 I would get the free upgrades in the 110 spec and the car could be built in 2020 based on production slots, however if I couldn't get the timing to work out with both saving finances and my wife's leave a plus 4 in 2020 would still be available but I would miss out on the 110 options. Steve didn't disagree but added that later in 2019 there will be more exciting news to come from Morgan for me to consider - he was probably talking about the Plus 6 but wouldn't elaborate any more apart from saying no to my query about an electric Plus 4. Of course that was prior the I am going to be a grandfather so buying another house instead of a car news. So it doesn't matter but if that is what I had organised and then found the factory shut while my car was being made I would have been grumpy.

Assuming that what I was told about any car ordered in 2019 can be a 110 model and now the news of no more orders for 2019 is the answer simply that MMC don't want to make more cars with the 110 options? Which seeing how late in the year it is seems quite reasonable as I expect they will probably still be making cars with 110 options in early 2020.

The other option is that the 110 model with the good inclusion list was supposed to use up stock of remaining chassis, engines etc.to help clear the way before the "End of the traditional Chassis" actually happens.

Ha ha

Looks like someone cocked up

I didn’t believe it anyway
I’m sure the trad Plus 4 will be available at least to next year which is possibly why the new CX Mog is going to branded a 4/4

Mrs FT has just said (and I quote): “It would make sense to get a new type Morgan because I could drive it then”. She currently struggles with no power steering and the heavy clutch.

It is rude to keep a lady waiting FT get in there now and order one smile

Some of the "experts" on here are saying it will be a Geneva launch for the Plus Four so you'll be top of the list..
