Hi Colin, Yes, there are car dealers and there again, there are real Morgan dealers.
Keeping track of the whims of those at the factory is hard even for the factory. I have much sympathy for those in the spares dept. there. If a dealer does Morgans as one of several makes he represents, the chances of him knowing much about these significant but confusing changes are quite small. Real Morgan dealers also learn to recognize those they might BS and those who are genuinely knowledgeable enthusiasts. With the internet today and opportunities for negative publicity spreading like wildfire, they take the risk of mistaking one for the other at their peril. What amazes me is how Morgan still get away with the quality problems that we see reported on Mogtalk so often. I love my Morgans and I like the people who build them, but there are still far too many faults allowed to get through. A friend up here recently gave up on Morgans after his succession of exasperating experiences with a sequence of new cars (I think he had 4 in about six years). He's gone for the quiet, reliable life with Mercedes. Whether his increasingly vociferous exchanges with the factory led to his heart attack, I'm not sure. All the best, Owen. ----- Original Message ----- From: e-mail colin.jones5857 To: mogtalk2 Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2012 11:38 AM Subject: Re: [mogtalk2] not Hard Tops - car At Newtown Motors Hi Owen Thats what I was thinking based on Rogers wheels info. so it sort of shot the information from the dealer in the foot that a later MC quick fit hood means wider body? Confusing isn't it? All part of the joy of ownership ;-). BR Colin On 7 August 2012 11:20, Owen Jenkins <[email protected]> wrote: Colin - definitely narrow-bodied.
