Well, build week of mine had been delayed several times (starting with week 46/11), but now seems "steady" on week 19/12..... always remember: "hope dies last..."  But waiting seems barely survivable... if i only have had the chance to testdrive the beast!!!!  A too long waiting time leads to insane ideas about specs & colour.. i know what i´m talking about! 
It doesn´t matter how fast it becomes, but how it becomes fast.  2015 Roadster 3.7

The new Roadster for the show is red......I think I posted a couple of photos of it. The new Plus 8 that was sitting in despatch was white. Not sure if it was the same car we saw in build David but could well have been as it has been out and about and I saw that it had been taxed for the road in January.

The new Roadster for the show is red...... Thanks Jay, probably not a good idea for DaveW to see this, unless MrsW has hidden the cheque book? PS Good job they dont have a black one!

Just downloaded the flyer for the Roadster. The power's now gone up to 280 bhp, but no increase in acceleration  Ian  209kw/280bhp/352Nm and weighing in at under a tonne...my mathematics ends up with a higher top speed than the stated 225kph/140mph (download brochure on Morgan site)...or maybe 225kph is more than enough with the top down
