Maybe folk want their car taxed in March, to look a little younger, and have been happy to wait a few weeks? If those cars sitting around are something other than dealer specs, then they're likely actual customer cars. Certainly you'd think in normal times that MMC would build cars at a constant rate, but the demand will be higher in spring & summer than in winter. So at the end of winter you'd expect some stock to be floating amongst dealers I'm struggling to understand this: MY21 Plus Four currently for sale (£70K), just 160 miles and 2 owners already ? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/03/05/Plus-Four-MY21-70K.jpg)

Maybe it’s one of those somewhat “universal” variants I’ve read about...whether the top is up or down... it always feels like open air motoring?

I would like to think you are right, but not according to the "specification" on the ad on PH: Specification: Owners 2. Mind you apparently it also has a 3-litre engine. I blame "fat-finger syndrome". www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/13050616

[/quote] Maybe it’s one of those somewhat “universal” variants I’ve read about...whether the top is up or down... it always feels like open air motoring?[/quote] I have a universal variant. The wind blowing into the cabin when driving is so bad it does feel like the hood is down. Door seals are being redesigned and retrofitted to cars such as mine. I think given the money it cost it's a joke. Brilliant car but door seals that are no good beggars belief - perhaps the design team could sort that out pronto!!!!

The design team only seem to work on 'new stuff' in my limited experience. Any post production issues are handled by after sales / customer service - its a Morgan Sir.

I do like the exterior colour but the leather wouldn't suit my lifestyle at all. half an hour down a Devon Lane topless it would all be taking on a reddish hue.
City car I reckon.

I rather like that.... we have chalk mud here, so the cream leather would be fine.
£70k?
I'll keep the Plus 8, I think.
