A bargain if you're in the market.
These prize draw cars never go to enthusiasts, or so it seems.

The Harrods 4/4 ended up at Ledgerwoods for a while, and I think there was a Harrods Elise, also for sale recently.

Don't know what the dealer margin is on a Morgan, but there's a good chance that price is less than a dealer would pay from Morgan.

Wrong time of year, but still might sell quickly and reappear in a dealers stock list.

I don't know much about car dealer discounts and even less about Morgan's discounts to dealers but in the motorcycle world discounts are typically between 8% and 10%. I believe car discounts are similar.

By the time the dealer pays expenses and maybe gives a discount or throws something in to sweeten the deal, or worse still gives a trade-in, there is very little profit in a sale. Dealers do not make money selling new vehicles. Any profit they make is in the sale of spares and accessories, used vehicles, and from the workshop.

I have often wondered how some dealerships manage to build mega glossy showrooms. I guess they must work on the basis of a big turnover at low margins like a supermarket.

Morgan dealer discount in the UK is 13.5 % (at least it was in my case in 2009).
