Really really sorry Graham. Just caught up with this.
The new owners have failed to appreciate the personal elements of Morgan heritage. Now they chip away at those who present continuity to Morgan owners who value something different. The "Something Different" is washing away. If what emerged was better than before, maybe it could have legs, but persistent quality issues are not acceptable on any new vehicle. Does anybody else sense the similarities with the Rover debacle??

Graham We’re really sorry to hear your news. I really don’t know the current thinking of MMC, or some of their dealers. So much has changed and it saddens me that something, that was once so special, seems to have been thrown away. All very best wishes. Simon & Susie. ps if you can make it to Wiscombe for the VSCC, give us a call.

Sorry to hear this Graham - we enjoyed your company on an MMC tour about 18 months ago - our next visit won't be the same without you as our guide!

Sorry to hear that Graham. Does that mean all tour guides are going and no more factory tours.

I'm sure something even better will come along Graham. All the best. In the meantime, enjoy doing what you want!
I've been getting by on my DEC/HP pension now for nearly 9 years ... I took the hit for taking it early and haven't regretted it. My state pension finally kicks in 4 weeks today.

Graham, saddened to hear that your position has been made redundant.
Their loss, not your's.
Good luck with the future... a door will open when you least expect it..

Graham, have just returned from a trip away. Very sorry to hear this news, as others have said MMC's loss but brings a new world of possibilities for you. Best of luck for something new and exciting soon.
