Dear forum members, Allow me to introduce myself: I live in the Netherlands and have been a huge car enthusiast for many years. After working in the automotive industry for a long time, I successfully started my own business in a different field. However, my passion for cars has remained. I recently joined this forum because I will likely be ordering a Supersport soon. I’ve already learned a lot from reading here, on various social channels and viewing all videos on Youtube regarding the Supersport  . I believe I might be exactly the kind of "new" customer Morgan had in mind when developing the Supersport. I have a particular love for British cars. My collection includes all sorts of vehicles from the UK, ranging from a Mini to an 80’s Rolls-Royce. I also own a recent Porsche 911, which I configured through the "Sonderwunsch" program. I visited Stuttgart and, with the help of a designer, created my dream Porsche. What makes a Morgan so special is that each car can be tailor-made. Do any of you know how this process works? My dealer has various leather and paint samples, and I can create a nice configuration using the configurator. But there it stops. Is it possible to schedule an appointment at the factory to see the materials and leathers in person and speak with a designer? I might want to include a few options that are not part of the standard offering. Do dealers have the possibility to arrange a consultation appointment in Malvern? Thank you in advance for your advice! Kind regards from the Netherlands!

Welkom Eric - wouldn’t mind some pictures of the Porsche!
Forgot to mention this in earlier discussion of the new Supersport when MMC marketing suggested that prospective buyers of a Porsche or Aston Martin might consider buying the new Morgan instead.
In my opinion, this is unlikely and buyers are much more likely to already own a mainstream sports car and are looking for a left field addition to the collection.

Welcome to the forum Eric, there are a few Porsche fans from all era`s here, I am one such, though have to admit that I find more driver involvement in my Morgan at road legal speeds most of the time. (-: Great that you suspect you are the ideal enthusiast owner for the Supersport, I imagine there would be no problem to make an appointment to visit the factory and discuss your requirements, though I have no personal experience in that area. Hope everything works out for you as you might wish.

Hi Eric,
Greetings from The Netherlands too and the MSCCH in particular! Are you MSCCH member? There is a lot of expertise and knowledge (and contacts) in Holland, also about the Supersport and designers in Malvern. You can PM me.
Kind regards,

Thank you for your quick responses .
Indeed, it is an option to order the car from Louwman. There is only one salesperson there for Morgan, and he is quite new. He is friendly but doesn’t have much experience with Morgan yet, so I need to figure out the details myself. That’s not really a problem, as creating a configuration and dreaming about it is part of the fun.
Thank you for the tip about the presentation in Brussels! It might be a good opportunity to get acquainted there.
A family member has had a Morgan Plus Six for some time now. Thanks to him, I became interested in exploring the brand further. I love the craftsmanship, the tradition, and the ability to configure the car to your own wishes. Since the Supersport adds improved features and more focus on handling, I think I will really enjoy the Supersport.
I’ll keep you updated in this thread from time to time — thanks for thinking along!

Greetings Eric, I see that the factory also list themselves as a "Dealer" for sales under Morgan Works Malvern. So perhaps worth a call or email to see what bespoke service they can offer you. Best wishes and keep us all updated.

Here is an example of an entirely bespoke car: Morgan SP1- it’s definitely worth talking to them about how much they can do for you at the factory.

Welcome Eric,
My advice would be to contact the factory. In my experience they will be keen to talk to prospective buyers and show you all of the options available.
