They wouldn’t tell me but I suspected that the person who ordered it had either died or was too ill to drive it
Only conjecture of course, but maybe long-term disqualified ? Whatever it was, that original purchaser would undoubtedly have suffered a major hit to his/her wallet. And when it appears through the dealer network, can it still legitimately be described as "brand new, unregistered" or will it have to be described as pre-owned ? Im pretty sure it still can be still legitimately called new and unregistered if it just has a few delivery/road testing miles on the clock

Thanks for the confirmation....as of this evening I can't see it on their website (either among their New or Used cars), but maybe I should've gone to Specsavers.
Mileage "75 miles" perhaps sidesteps the Is It New Or is It Used issue ?
I should add that I'm not in the market for this car, just curious to track its progress.

Its not on their site yet & the link from the email I got is not live. I get alerts direct from Morgan whenever a car goes on sale at any of their dealers & that was sent to me on the day the auction site changed to Sold.
I was thinking about buying it as it was cheap but would have needed to pay for a PDI at a dealer, first registration tax, & was unsure how the warranty would work. By the time Berrybrook add in all the costs for auction fees, transportation, PDI etc I don't think they will be making a huge amount.
Apart from the lack of aircon I also wasn't sure how practical a beige hood would be.

I also wasn't sure how practical a beige hood would be. My guess is that any hood that gets bird poo on it will get stained, even a beige/grey one. The question is, what's going to be the nearest to your Ideal Car for the same money ? Good luck anyhow if you do decide to go ahead.

If you go via the MMC website it's there under used cars.

This is what popped up on my alert, its got the wrong number of wheels! & no mention of auto but everything else matches exactly, IIRC, when you spec a car from the CX options list, they are not listed as 'spare wheel' but rather as Five-wheel Vehicle vs Four-wheel Vehicle

The car in the auction only had 4 wheels - no spare.

Adding an extra wheel wouldn't be beyond the wit of man or woman - if you could figure some way to install it (balanced on the rack ?).
Or maybe coincidence ?
