the two Factory guys at Curborough taster day in the pale blue SS, one of whom was allegedly the sales manager(?) reckoned they had 970 orders for the 3w, have over 200 been cancelled/turned away.
I think we should be told. Are you confusing M3W production figures for 2012 with orders, not all of which will be built this year?

Why do you think you should be told?? is the number of orders a critical factor for everyone's life?? Whether the number is 900, 1000 1100 or whatever, the factory have done a great job in producing a vehicle which has produced a huge number of orders and will provide extra jobs in Malvern for some time. I cannot see what relevance the present change in actual number of orders can be at this stage. In a situation where many people have ordered a product way in advance of an actual production model it is natural that some will drop out for all sorts of reasons. The present number is a substantial one in any event.
You also have to take into account the number of cars delivered when looking at total numbers.
I think there are many more critical pieces of information relevant to the real world which are being covered up / retained for us to worry about!!!!

I think we should be told. I am one of them evil persons that cancelled their M3W order, but... Never thougt of buying a Morgan before but I just fell in love with the Thee Wheeler after seeing it on internet just before Geneva, I just had to order one.  During that following summer/autumn I filled my garage with 5 other three wheelers (yes:  ), that together with "some life evolving" reflexions ended up with me cancelling my order...and instead ordered a Plus 4. If I had not seen that three wheeler picture on the net....Morgan had probably not sold a Plus 4 to me. So behind the figure (right or wrong) of cancelled orders so much more information could be hidden that might not at all be negative from a Morgan perspective. One of the ideas with the Three Wheeler probably were to attract new (Morgan virgins) customers - mission accomplished  Morgan has now focused their resources and created an effective set-up for production of Three Wheelers - the quality looks excellent and the cars seems to work well for the happy owners. If this is a permanent setup of course there must now be a high priority to keep up the sales, remember that not all markets are yet covered or fully covered. If it for instance ends up being a hit in US there will be pretty crowded on Pickersleigh Road... If not I guess Morgan has taken all precautions to quickly be able to scale down or rearrange their resources. Remember that product development never sleeps...what exciting products comes next  Well, deep inside I know that I need one sooner or later...imagine, say in 5 years you see a well kept M3W second hand for sale. One owner (preferably old lady), low mileage, your favourite colour and with a suitable price - will I be the only one spontaniously grabbing for the wallet

Why do you think you should be told?? If Robmog88 is the Rob I think he is, I suspect he wasn't being entirely serious...
