Yet another delay on the 3.7 Roadster. Now there's a missing module that Fords have promised but not delivered.
<rant>
I accept that Ford have let Morgan down, but why are Morgan still promising delivery dates? They must have known that this module was missing, but they've now promised another batch of customers delivery dates that they have no way of knowing if they can deliver! All I wanted was a replacement for the car I lost to fire, but what should have been a good experience has turned into a nightmare of broken promises. I'm not sure I want the car any more, I'm so fed up with it all.

I think I'll go down the pub...

Sorry to hear that news. It is still raining.

It WILL be worth the wait. We are also waiting to read your write up when your Roadster is delivered.

Have that beer.

You DO want the car. Once you get behind the wheel all the delays will be forgotten and the smile will re-appear.

Have one for me while you're down the pub. cheers

Ian,

Sorry to hear that the delays are taking the shine off your replacement car. I cannot offer much consolation other than I have been told the new V6 Roadster is an absolutely brilliant drivers car.

Believe me - you want that car. I agree that the delays are frustrating but that will all be forgotten the moment you take the wheel in your hands.

I really understand your frustration and suffer with you! I am sure Morgan also would love to deliver your car a.s.a.p. When delays and problems in product development appears suppliers very often estimates time frames from the best case scenario....and with more suppliers involved the chain reaction are there and causes even more slips in time.

The "positive" thing is that no one else has got theirs either and that you probably will have a "better and more finished" car when it arrives. I keep my thumbs crossed that your much longed for Roadster will materialize soon...and as already said - we long for your report from the first tour!!

Herman01 that had to wait for his M3W for some months (standing finished at the dealer awaiting paperwork) wrote that: at least the lacquer have had time to harden...

Hope the pub helped wine

Hoping the time goes quickly until you're new Roadster is ready to be with you. In the meantime you have the best wishes I'm sure of the folks on here and I'm also sure we all look forward to hearing your impressions of the new machine. When you look across the bonnet for the first time - these delays will seem less important and more just simple 'process.' The car will be worth the wait.

Have a great evening at the pub.

Thanks for all the kind words, chaps. Wouldn't it be nice if Morgan said something? What makes it all worse is that the car was paid for 6 weeks ago on (one of) Morgan's promised delivey dates.

now you know:
- how a guy awaits his threewheeler
- how a lotus guy awaits his new exige s
and most of all, how a MP4-12c owner still gets lost because his satnav won't work till august2012 (and that is a 220000euro car!!)

your patience will be rewarded
imho THE ultimate morgan will be yours in a few months
