Peter J:
Due to the current higher positioning of the Morgan brand, Ferrari is now almost a competitor. If you can spend €100,000 (without extras) for a leisure car called Morgan Plus Six, the €183,000 for a Ferrari California convertible probably won't hurt either.

Trouble is, the cheapest Ferrari is now the Roma at about £250K with 'essential' extras

I still haven’t heard a dickie bird 😩
Mine is due to fixed at the factory. I had the couple of emails from the factory/dealer that I think most have received. Spoke to my dealer last Wednesday and he promised to chase for an update and the silence since then has been a little deafening.
In theory this coming Friday is the end of the 3 week period stated for Acumen to contact me to arrange collection. Thus I’m trying to be a good boy and keep my head down til Friday…..before I start getting agitated and express my dissatisfaction to dealer/MMC….. I retired last October and had multiple plans for this summer to go to various places/take out friends in the Mog and I am not full of joy at how these ideas have ended up being cancelled or ended up on the scrap heap…
We shall see…
Fingers crossed that I hear summat by Friday
HB Trust you get this sorted out so you can enjoy the car and retirement.

Just had the Plus six returned from the dealers. Looking forward to reacquainting myself, its been a long wait (again). Some pictures of the illusive replacement cylinder, the swirl pot has been fitted to the near side out of view under the wing. Hope the remainder of the affected cars are sorted soon and it proves to be a permeant fix for the radiator issue. I have yet to try the breaks in anger, but I found them quite acceptable from new. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/08/11/IMG_2133.md.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/08/11/IMG_2132.md.jpg)

Pleased to report my Plus Four (MY22 spec) has now had the fix applied (replaced Master cylinder and "swirl pot" installed) and is at last back on the road after 10 week hiatus. Many thanks to dealer BHM for their tenacity in working through all the problems in understanding the issues, vehicle recovery, actually getting promised fix kits etc.
Hopefully parts availability will be improving now so that we can all get back to enjoying our cars.

Just had a call from Acumen
They are collecting Belle tomorrow afternoon!!!!!
Phew!!!!
Can’t wait to get her back….out of curiosity does anyone have an idea of how long on average it’s currently taking from collection before the car is likely to be returned from the factory post repair? Just so I can manage my excitement levels realistically!!! Thanks
HB

Gary (Hawki on here) had his car picked up on 26th July. I understand work including rad fix has been completed by MMC and it was promised back this week. The logistics of collection and delivery seem to take the time with cars being held in Coventry until forwarding on to Malvern.

Quite a few others in BHM today when I picked my Plus 4 up from service and MOT.
