Warranties that apply to your Morgan:
KNOW WHEN YOUR WARRANTY BEGINS
The Warranty Start Date (for all warranties) is the day the first retail owner
takes delivery of the new vehicle, or the day it is first put into service (for
example, as a demonstrator), whichever occurs first.
CHECK THE VEHICLE
We check vehicles carefully at the factory to assure quality. Upon delivery,
check the vehicle over carefully and if there is any damage or issues, and if
there is any concern with the finish of the vehicle, please notify your supplying
Morgan Dealer immediately.
MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE PROPERLY
Proper maintenance protects against major repair expenses resulting from
neglect or inadequate maintenance. It is the owner’s responsibility to make
sure that all of the scheduled maintenance is performed within 1 month
or 1,000 miles of the due requirement and that the materials used meet
Morgan specifications. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance as specified
in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide will invalidate warranty coverage on
parts affected by the lack of maintenance. Make sure that confirmation of
maintenance work is kept.
WHO PAYS FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS?
The owner will not be charged for qualifying warranty repairs during the
warranty period for the New Vehicle Limited Warranty or Emissions Warranty.

New Vehicle Limited Warranty
Your Morgan is covered by the Morgan Motor Company New Vehicle Limited

dealers in other countries, please confirm with your supplying Morgan dealer the
level of break down cover which they are able to arrange in your country.
During this coverage period, the authorised Morgan service point will repair,
replace, or adjust all parts on your vehicle that are defective in factory-supplied
materials or workmanship. Items and conditions that are not covered by the

General Maintenance Information
This guide describes the scheduled maintenance required for your vehicle.
Carefully following this schedule helps protect against major repair expenses
resulting from neglect or inadequate maintenance. It is your responsibility to
see that all scheduled maintenance is performed and that the materials used
meet engineering specifications. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance
specified in this guide will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by
the lack of maintenance. Be sure confirmation of the work performed is always
kept. Your authorised service point has factory-trained technicians who can
perform the required maintenance using genuine parts. To assure the proper
performance of your vehicle and its emission control systems, scheduled
maintenance must be completed at the designated intervals. Engine parts other
than Morgan new or re-manufactured parts that are used for maintenance
replacement or for the service of components must be equivalent to genuine
Morgan part in performance and durability. It is the owner’s responsibility to
assure the equivalency of such parts.
Which Schedule Should You Follow?
NORMAL SCHEDULE
The Normal Schedule applies to those who operate their vehicle under typical,
everyday driving conditions. The maintenance frequency represented in the
normal schedule typifies what most vehicle operators will require. Please refer
