Mine was also pushed back a few weeks - now towards the end of September. Apparently it has an engine fitted but the Plus Four builds are now slower due to fewer dedicated people working on them. So if it is manual, has black alloys and a hint of being painted in Porsche Frozen Blue, I’d love to see a photo! :-) hopefully the time will fly for yours too Jim, and enjoy the tour.
Spencer - can’t wait to see the photos of yours when you do get collect! You have chosen a wonderful spec and it’ll look great.

The big day finally arrived. It’s a real privilege to be able to drive for recreation and not just transportation. I was really struck yesterday, upon first seeing the car, by how special it is and how fortunate I am to be able to own one. The whole afternoon of delivery was brilliantly handled by David from Morgan Works London who came up for the delivery, collected me from the station, got me lunch at the Morgan canteen, walked me through every aspect of the car and build, then graciously drove the car around the factory while I took some pictures. My overwhelming sense was genuinely how special it was to be part of Morgan’s story and history, and the hope that my little Morgan will add to that narrative in its own little way. The car itself looked brilliant, the care and attention to detail is astonishing. The oak green metallic paint is everything I had imagined and more as it shifts and changes in different lights. The brown leather seats are lovely and proved very comfortable on the 220 mile drive back to the Dales. The white lights and white side indicators look very smart. But perhaps my favourite little bit from yesterday, given how long I was using it for, was the silver and black leather Moto Lita steering wheel. It just brings the whole cabin together aesthetically, and really changes the driving feel from the standard wheel. You really feel you’re driving something that is already a classic. Now for some pictures from collection. And one last special one of Morgan’s Head of Design, Jonathan Wells, with my little Mog. Was a real treat to get to meet him and talk for a few minutes about the car! ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/nFqmc60.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/0mK9FvJ.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/eQbSPv0.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/Xm2Emts.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/H24e6yK.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/To897pR.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/DW5i5IW.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/1iVgm5y.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/LdIysX8.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/9pspeY8.jpg)

Fabulous car - enjoy your miles.
I shall be very interested to hear how you get on long term with the width and shoulder room, I'm 48" chest and 6' at fourteen and a half stone and I think it would be way too narrow for me unlike my Plus 8 with a ten stud mandraulic roof.

T`is a privilege to share your pick-up and drive home experiences DPF, and the pics make it all that bit more involving, causing me to remember getting behind the wheel of my old Morgan for the first time, with a lengthy drive home from Bishops Stortford back North to Scotland`s Central belt on a cold and somewhat damp February day in 2002... followed on with Southern European trips on consecutive years we created memories to last a lifetime, I hope you do too... ENJOY

I'm very excited for a Scotland journey in it at some point. Glad now to have my own collection story to add to others like yours.

Reading your words really does show the effect these cars have. No matter how often the Coupe does something annoying I love every journey. Enjoy, lots, often.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
