Interesting to note that the new Club Sport has a revised rear suspension with Nitron shocks and a rear anti roll bar. I wonder if we can upgrade.

Wonder how much it is…

Very odd way to launch a new model variant, no formal announcement from the factory, no price and just some dealers posting pics on instagram / website over a couple of months…

It was on the Morgan Motor Company official Facebook page yesterday morning.

That sounds very interesting. With a little cynicism, you could also say that there are 15 guinea pigs who will certainly be invited to take part in focus groups after their first driving experience. And then we will see whether this will be the new set-up for the whole series.
Logically, it makes no sense to make this investment in the chassis and then bury it again after 15 units.

It is fantastic that MMC bring out these limited editions and looking to improve the chassis as well. However, I find their efforts in making them feel special a bit lacklustre. Aside from the brass bits and different leather, visually it's all a bit boring and, no pun intended, limited in regards to selecting your own spec. I believe all will be built and either sold or with a retailer to sell. It would make for a much better experience to allow some customisation and to follow the build.

I sort of had this with the 80th. Only 3 exterior colours to choose from and whilst the interior can be anything you want, you were limited on what to select due to the constraints of making it match your chosen body colour.

One might argue that due to the bespoke nature of Morgan, every model is potentially a limited edition! However, I can see the point of restricting choices on a specific limited edition launch as otherwise, it may be almost unrecognisable as the beast that it set out to be.
Along with most manufacturers, when sales are slow, (as I suspect they are with the CX range, given all the faults that have arisen) they come up with specials to try to attract more buyers. A tweek here and there that wont break the bank then it’s over to the marketing dept to upsell!

100% agree Doug. However, they could have made it more visually appealing. I can't recall the retailer but one which I believe is in Germany did a truly bespoke build with contrast seat centre inserts, tied with other contrast details, exterior details etc. Truly took my breath away.

Sorry, but for me some Carlos Fandango dampers and an anti roll bar ain't that significant wink
