So much for the new year.............I couldn't wait. Phoned this morning and spoke to Tom in service. He was really helpful and would be happy to answer any other questions from forum members.
As already shared they did some work earlier for MMC and the brake upgrade consisted of PAGID RS29 front brake pads and higher grade brake fluid. Prices £526 and £200, respectively (inc. VAT). You could save a little on the brake fluid by not going for the racing fluid. Tom indicated the major improvement came from the pads and not the brake fluid change.
We also discussed engines and he shared that they did a 420hp PlusSix upgrade last week, £600 (inc. VAT).
The lead time they need is circa 4-6 weeks notice.
All in all, to say I am interested, is an understatement. I suspect we will be visiting Lichfield Motors and MMC in July.
Thanks to Barry M for the initial Lichfield Motors info.

Brake upgrade sounds interesting, but I ain’t brave enough to go for any power upgrade…..

The 420hp power upgrade last week was me, The extra power is nice (of course) but the tune was mainly to alter the "Snappy" torque created by the Morgan map. By moving the torque curve much farther down the rev range, the car is now a delight and the power is much more progressive and most importantly, much easier and more predictable to drive - how it should have been in the first place!

Ah, I was wondering if it was you.
The power upgrade sounds sublime. I will have to get it now. For £600 it is a 'no brainer'.
How have your insurance company been with the power upgrade? Did it impact the premium much?

I work in the field of damaged cars in France. I can guarantee you that there will never be anyone who will dig into your electronic box.If you wanted to, do it and don't tell your insurer. You risk nothing.

I am too honest, I declare everything. Currently with LV, declared when fitted sports exhaust and SSL suspension and it was £50extra/mod. Suspect 420bhp will take it outside of LV underwriting and I will have to go to a specialist.
