Yup. They had previously delivered Auto trans compatible ECUs and they now have the correct manual spec ones. Which one in the trim ship is yours? I'm sure to have seen it today. Whichever one it is they all look amazing

That one looks lovely. Great choice on the interior and exterior colors. Funnily enough yours was the combination my Father picked out as his personal choice, praise indeed

It's the same colour scheme as my last one, which committed hara kiri by fire last year. Did you notice the dash? No one seems to have seen one yet...

Oh god! Thats not a nice story. How did it manage to set fire to itself?
I'm affraid I didn't notice that dashboard. Too many things to look at. lol.
I'll pay more attention on my next visit. Hope it makes it's way to you soon.

The battery cable shorted on the battery clamp bolt. First I noticed was when the brakes gave out as the pipes burnt through. It was an interesting few minutes... With the help of a couple of borrowed fire extinguishers & a showman working nearby, we managed to contain the fire to the back of the car but it was still written off

The latest from my dealer: As far as he knows, Morgan are still waiting for the parts from Ford. Wouldn't it be nice if Morgan told us what the **** is going on!

I heard from an industry source that the issue is not Morgan or Ford but actually a third party who Ford engaged to develop the ECU....and then failed to deliver...and continue to fail to deliver. There are plenty of the engines around and in stock.. Surprising as the name I was given is a well known tuner of Fords in the USA...

Revolve is the company and as per my previous posts they supplied Auto ECUs. This has now been rectified and they have the manual spec ECUs going into the built cars as I type this.
Shiremog. As you're just up the road from me you'll have to give me a peek at your shiney new car when it appears.

Will do, as long as I'm not too old to drive it when it's delivered
