I had test drives in both manual and auto versions. My initial pre-test thoughts were for manual but I changed my mind after the tests. The option of using either mode in the auto gave flexibility and opportunities to vary mode.
I don't mind the "modern" style of gear lever. It gives a hint of a modernised retro designed car without being too overt.

Yup, that ad first appeared in Miscellany for start of April and has been carried through.. just saying.. happy to be proved wrong. I would like to change ours. I went on their web site and no mention of it. I will email directly as we are passed April 1st now..

Good luck. I hope it isn't an error

It’s fact it can be done not cheap and on an exchange basis which starts get complicated with brexit etc.

Donor one from a crashed Beemer that's being broken for parts?

That way you get to keep your original if you ever want to swop back

It’s not the standard BMW part there are electronic differences hence the exchange

I enquired a while back regarding the auto selector… I also like the metal indicator/wiper stalks too…

The only downside, there’s no indication in the gear knob itself, you have to rely on the dash display only… and that can be a bit tricky in sunlight!

It does look a think of beauty though… and as we’re out of the eu the vat can be claimed back, you just need to hope his majesty’s customs & excise don’t sting you for the extra 1% when returning!

Here’s the reply from morganpark…

Hi Lee,

Thank you for your enquiry and your interest in our Morgan Park products.

Sorry for the delay in response. We are still short of stuff at the moment and with the two closed business days last week I’m still behind a lot of enquiries and orders. Apologize.

However, the price for the CX stalk unit is 980.00 Euro fitted. Price for the wooden automatic gear selector is 1800.00 Euro fitted. Prices include 19% VAT. We should be able to do the conversion the same day when everything is prepared for installation. We have to invoice you VAT when you are present for installation.

A skilled workshop could be able to do the installation. However, you have to send your original stalk unit and automatic gear selector unit to us for conversion. Price for both units without installation is 1840.00 Euro net plus shipping.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

Well happy to be proven wrong that its not an April fool!. I am always a bit suss of new bits appearing in Magazines April 1st. Anyway, moving on.. I much prefer their gear selector, but at that price I would have to think that through. One of the things that made me think back in April that the add might be suss was the lack of any indicators on the stalk, however, I see now that they have just bypassed the sticks indicators.. so there you go.. every day is a learning curve..

So I visited Morgan Hertfordshire, Allon White and Krazy Horse on Thurs/Fri last. All very different dealers …. Morgan Hertfordshire is I believe the newest Morgan dealer and focus on high-end modern retro sixes of the kind that appeal to similar customers to those who buy supercars from their other garage next door. Allon white of course is completely the other end of the spectrum - the oldest dealer with a huge selection of older cars. Krazy Horse has a mix of stuff, but all a bit customised with a bit of a hipster vibe.

I drove a six first at Krazy Horse and decided immediately it was t was I was looking for. Too refined and grown up. Then I drove the WRp4 four and was smitten. A very cheeky fun car. The only area where perhaps it is lacking a little is in the braking to match the power … but there must be something that can be done about that if it becomes an issue.

Anyway, the deal was done and I’m now waiting on a date when the car will be ready :-)
