When did dazzle camouflage become a marketing tool?
Surely the point of disguising a prototype is in case it gets photographed before you're ready to announce it? It reads like MMC has been driving it around to get papped but got fed up waiting. If you're going to release photographs yourself, show us the car! That’s funny Ian, I chuckled to myself with a similar thought. Maybe I’m just getting too cynical in my old age I hope they are testing the new Mog over a long enough distance to test the integrity of the radiator. If they have just been tootling it around Malvern they will have only been through two or three and might underestimate the stock levels required from launch! I heard Jon Wells in an interview say how the new Morgan will be referencing or drawing design inspiration from classic British sports cars of the past. At a guess this might be wing lights like the XK120 under the lumpy wrapping on the front wings. Other than that it’s er… er… very, very similar to a ….Morgan, just with a hard top and a boot But why change, it looks great

Maybe this is just a deception? Maybe this is just a chassis test vehicle with body parts left over from midsummer production? And the production vehicle will look completely different? It was announced in interviews that the next Morgan vehicle would say goodbye to the 1930s design language.
However, the high costs of producing this prototype speaks against this assumption.

I'll put my head over the parapet, I like it if that is a full coupe or hardtop the audience will be far greater than the Midsummer (which I like).
This will open up the Stateside market hopefully, I wish them luck as they have shown great braveness and creativity in these last two models and we need them to succeed.

Having purchsed a Plus Six Pinnacle with Morgan promoting it with the Tag Line - The final Plus Six. The last high-powered Morgan with the classic wing silhouette.
The pictures of the new Flagship car are of a car with the classic wing silhouette, can you explain to me Morgan.
Missold I reckon?

The rear wing silhouette is certainly different. May be that's what they meant?

Just my two-penneth, but I reckon the MMC blaze camouflage pics are a wind-up and the release photos will show an entirely different shape

You know the old adage (pun intended) any advertising is good.
I think it will be a coupe so similar in form with a nod to the Midsummer.
