Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Plus Four, Supersport & Plus Six (CX & CXV Generation Vehicles) Safety Recall - Brakes

I agree with donaldsaurus (what is a donaldsaurus anyway - was it on Jurassic Park?) - Im’ fairly sanguine about the above situation and tend to accept that the problems experienced are part of the cost of doing business with one of the last remaining small car manufacturers who’s survival is a miracle and have the R&D budget of an A4 wing mirror.

I understand the frustration of owners but the alternative is to buy an MX5 and save £70k - I’ll stick with the Plus 6!

Must add - was mentally prepared for a list of problems until sorted under warranty, but not had any, except a sticky brake light which took a few seconds to resolve.

My attitude may allow MMC to take the p*** however so they need to be kept on their toes by other less casual owners.

Morgan are extremely fortunate to have customers like you and (the) Domaldsaurus 😀
Personally I wish I had chosen differently and there are many more options available.
That said, my car has now been collected by Acumen and I am told will make its way to the factory. Apparently the yard at Acumen has a lot of Morgans parked in it. Hopefully my car will be fixed and returned while there is still some summer remaining and I might find some love for it again.

As I say, Morgan are fortunate to have such a loyal and dedicated customer and fan base. I do however think they need to look again at the (IMHO) derisory offer of a 3 month warranty extension. Just because their customer base is loyal does not mean they shouldn’t be treated fairly. In fact quite the opposite.

That is a very honorable point of view. I can understand it. It puts the real circumstances, including the financial ones, of a small series manufacturer in perspective. At the same time, however, this view needs a lot of patience, love and empathy for the product and its manufacturer. But this is exactly what cannot be expected from all newly acquired customers who are not familiar with the brand and its history. I must say that I understand both points of view. After all, quite a few posts here show that the defect rectification is progressing quite extensively resp. is starting with commitment.

I fully agree but the point is MMC are trying to move into a younger modern customer base who will not stand for basic problems like radiators and master cylinders taking their cars off the road for months.It hardly high tech stuff.
The loyal customer base is getting older and fewer. They need to step up if they want to attract a younger customer base.
All my friends with big,fast expensive cars just laugh.
“ Hows the Morgan? Can you drive it yet ? How much was it again? And only 18 months m”
Don’t think they will be rushing out any time soon.

A friend of mine was expecting collection to the factory last Tuesday and no one turned up. He was then booked for Thursday with the same result. Maybe the yard is full to overflowing but thank goodness we have dry weather!

Well my Plus Four is with my dealer and is being fixed Many thanks to Henry Williams for driving up to the factory to get the parts. I wonder how long I would have had to wait if he had not done so. Morgan are not covering themselves in glory these days, but my dealership is brilliant.

He certainly lives up to his Federation of Small BusinessYoung Entrepreneur of the Year award back in 2014. A thoroughly good guy whose business deserves full support and ongoing success.

Henry really gets the concept that the "Customer is King" and will go the extra mile if it is possible.

My car also with my dealer , with a bit of luck the car will be ready end of the week.

Great to hear that after two very long months, there's a good few getting sorted.

FIngers crossed you'll all be able to start enjoying the summer.
