I'm not the only Plus 8 owner here! :-) Mine's a 1998 as well, but I only waited three years. The allocation for the Far East must have been the culprit. Do you have a 3.9 or 4.6? At least waiting all that time, you got a car with stainless valances and bulkhead, and all the Superform alloy wings. The long-door is a much better car than a 1990. John (Collier), Morgan is doing quite well today after a couple of years fighting with the debt service on the new Aero 8 assembly building. The "new" traditional V-6 Roadster, replacement of the Plus 8, has filled the order books and saved the day. The Aero 8 shop is now being used for final assembly of both cars. ON topic, you could say that Morgan has survived precisely because it does not chase trends, but concentrates on what it does best and what others can't. In spite of the pundits here, Leica may do best by following a similar path. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/album25/LUG4?full=1> William At 12:34 PM 02/19/2005 +0800, you wrote: >on 19/2/05 10:54 am, Mike Durling at durling@cox.net wrote: > > > Morgan hand makes cars and it takes two years to get one after you order > > it > > IIRC. > >If this is the case I have to say Morgan have come a long way.
