It's all down to time and cost I suppose. Probably farmed out to a local fabrication shop. Any semi skilled welder would be able to do that when all the parts are held in a jig.

So, if you spent a heap of £££ on a new one and it turned up with poor welds, would you reject it ?

Would love to see pictures of construction of the MS3. A picture of the bare aluminium castings and just before attaching to the body might do wonders to help accepting this new model. We really need a YouTube of the whole construction! It just keeps sounding better and better! If I lived in the UK, I would be at the factory in a flash.

About my standard! Totally agree. Even if it is a prototype, no supposedly skilled man should view those as acceptable welds, Bud 4/4 - Stanley

Even if it is a prototype, no supposedly skilled man should view those as acceptable welds, Bud 4/4 - Stanley Surly Morgan isn't going the take the cheap and shoddy path again. That's what cost them financially and damaged their reputation with the last effort. . Probably explains why resale prices for the second generation M3W are going down faster than a fat guy on a sea-saw.....

Didn't you mean up? 7 years ago secondhand cars were 25k, average now for 2012/13 car is nearer 33k Hardly sea-saw unless the fat guy is at the bottom and the 3W is at the top or is it because Australia is upside down, so it's said the other way round...confused 😊

Sorry Peter, your view is not supported by recent will documented sales in the BaT section - all below expectations. I note some English dealers have recently advertised 2011+ M3W at a "price reduced" to prompt a sale which explains why there are so many for sale and real trades are happening below the offer....
