Hi guys,
Maybe I´m an idiot but I have heard and seen the word "bespoked" a lot of times, but do not know what it means.
It is harder for us in Sweden, isn´t it?

Bespoked, means you order your car exactly as you want it, colour, leather, hood and accessories etc.

custom tailored, in the sense that you can let make your car very individual in terms of colors, trims etc.

Anyone who has been to the factory will know that there is no scope there to stockpile, and to move half completed cars off site would be seen and reported with photos.
sales are definitely down. no waiting list, and plenty of new unregistered ones about. all Morgan dealers have at least 2 if not more unsold cars ...

There is no doubt, if you want a new car (not bespoke) tomorrow you could have it. When I bought my +4SS it was already a built car sitting in stock with MMC, I believe from the MMC website there are still some available.

I wonder who is the source of the stockpiling story. I hope it's not the same source who asserted that AeroSS production had ceased. Many of the stories on that page have a similar tone to them, one which I would deem to be quite negative. I was taught to read the subtext as well as the message. Few car dealers are selling vehicles at the moment and production within the industry is slowing. If Morgan Motor Co are finding sales slow, I would view that indicative of the reluctance of many to spend on luxury items in uncertain economic times.
