and possibly more power...... ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/12/02/lion.png) I like the look of the 03 car but after you Sir, well 20,000 trouble free miles after you I could start thinking about it as a possible toy... The Ford engine and Mazda gearbox are a far better idea than that S&S unit, if they finally get that bevel box and belt arrangement sorted after 9 years of development they will have a winner.

The fluffy detail is so the early adopters can't complain that it wasn't "as described", after they take delivery

I might consider upgrading once Morgan has had 2-3 years to sort it out. Reading older posts on this forum, I see 2014 was the darkest year for the mood. After that it lightened up again, and I would rather watch that phase from the outside while I keep fettling my current 3 wheeler.

[quote=Viper]For those of you not on instas
Well thats a load of arty farty bs isnt it? What about the real design? What engine? What Weight? What power? What suspension? Chain drive? Greasing required? Cars are all about engineering and performance not such nonsense as an eccentric front end towed by its wheels, or whatever the precise words were.
Sorry if that sounds grumpy but with all the arty car adverts telling you nothing of any use, its easy to be grumpy.
It's called a media tease Howard. MMC teasing what the car might look like and giving details of when the full reveal is to be expected. What you are wanting is normally offered at the lift of embargo/official press release.

For years MMC launched new cars at the Geneva Show. I doubt that the full reveal/launch will be any different. Graham I may be wrong , but I think I read that the Geneva Show had been cancelled . Entirely possible. It was cancelled at the 11th hour last year. The launch PlusFour was driven all the way back to Malvern in one go and the launch carried out at MMC on the day it would have been done at Geneva.

Looks like they did cancel it Graham. This is from the official website citing they are working on something new for 2023. It's a pity as it was one of my more favourite shows for reveals. My only guess is this will be a virtual reveal much like how many OEMs have done over the last 24 months. GIMS - Returning 2023

I think you’ll find the Geneva show will never be the same.
Lots of manufacturers have realised the massive saving

Sorry if that sounds grumpy but with all the arty car adverts telling you nothing of any use, its easy to be grumpy. I agree with you Howard…a load of pretentious rubbish and typical designer speak. It’ll be interesting to see the actual reveal….let’s hope it isn’t just a partial one as a teaser. I’m really interested in what the alloy chassis looks like!

I probably shouldn’t say this Richard….but I like your pussy 🤣
