My new car on the production line earlier this week!

Wow Simon

How long have you been waiting for your order?

Well the truthful answer is I've been waiting nearly 48 years! To be more exact I placed the order in April after having been with a group of friends on a factory tour. It was inevitable as the atmosphere at the factory is infectious! Just going back to the factory and being able to wander around at will and to chat to the people making your car is almost worth the price of purchase! I'm hoping to go back in January just after it's been painted (red) and while it's in the trim shop.

Lovely car, though the ride is 'interesting'! Having a car specifically made for you and your requirements is rather special. I do hope it turns out to be just what you have always wanted.

Thanks Peter, I'm sure it will be. It's my third Morgan so I am aware of their 'foibles'! It's the first one I've been lucky enough to buy new and am thoroughly looking forward to the end of January when it should be ready. Ride comfort isn't too bad considering the age of the design, and the whole Morgan 'thing' has always appealed to me!

Plan A has been hatched, I can plug in

and obtain free electricity in many locations around London, congestion charge is gratis, I receive reduced parking permit rates and pay no annual road tax.

Plan B to be hatched, it seems my climate control robs about 5 miles range from the cars battery so tomorrow I will be buying thermal underwear to push the range (not sure what I'll do in the summer!).

Plan C with the money I save I can buy more B&O.

Must be nice to have other taxpayers pay for your fuel and other fees. How the other taxpayers feel I can imagine.

But take advantage of it while you can.

Jeff, London exceeded its years pollution level total within the 1st week of January so we need to offer a carrot to ignite the catalyst of new thinking.

I'll also be propping up the thermal underwear industry as a by product .....
