maybe a full tank of juce and a couple of free tickets to a show, what says he I've already paid for the tank of juice... & I don't know about Compo, but Arfur Daley springs to my mind.

I think I would be pushing them for some sort of jesture or a loan car.

Personally I'd be asking for my money back less the deposit until such time they can give you a guaranteed delivery date.

Another way of looking at is you are going to be in the fortunate position of being one of the first to sample the brand new 3.7, hardly a catastrophe even though it is a few months late

I just noticed my avatar. I built that engine in 18 months. Perhaps I should build a Roadster. Probably be quicker...

Your got a great avatar (googled it long time ago  ) - would love to see it running. But compared to your new Roadster I guess it is on the other end regarding road holding and acceleration...so you for sure NEED a Roadster to

Cars are in build now. Ford sent them the wrong ECU's and then "couldn't figure out" why that was a problem. They have now been sent the correct units and things are in full swing. They are flat out trying to sort the backlog of orders.
Morgan have been royaly done due to the incompetence of others so please don't hold it against them. Maybe they could have communicated the issues in a better manner in your case.
I have been visiting the factory today and have spoken to many of the team involved and believe me, they are as fed up and frustrated as you.
I'm sure you will love the car when it arrives. But remember, perfection takes time, especially when there are outside parties involved.

The message I got yesterday from my dealer ( which he got from Steve Morris, production Director) was, basically, that a control module was missing, with no date for the supply from Fords. I completely understand the problems that Ford et al have caused Morgan ( I have a small business & know what it's like). And I also understand that a new product cannot be developed to a timetable. My gripe is the continuous stream of promises that Morgan must know cannot be met, which has resulted in me paying for the car at least a month before I get it ( & that's being optimistic!) and a month's worth of insurance ( needed to register the car on the promise delivery date). Let's hope you're right & the ECU's were delivered yesterday. My car has been sitting in the trim shop for at least a month now... Ian
