RE: Sunday Service: Morgan factory, April 13

[garytr7v8]

I'm so glad myself and my son are part of PistonHeads what a fantastic Sunday Service, it was such a eye opener to have a good look round the factory. Great tour guides and such nice people at Morgan. Big thanks for the opportunity once more.

Best Regards Gary and Oliver..

Actually a valid point made on the above post about being on the list, I turned up at about 9:15 and while in the que a member of Morgans staff let me through a side gate into the car park as there was a few spaces left so I was there it was me in the 3200 GT

Thank you, top day out. Great welcome by the guys at Morgan.

One quick query for Nathan or the organisers . I arrived much later than intended (past 12). I still got a factory tour & a ride in a 3 wheeler....but at my arrival there was no longer PH staff on the gate, I just drive into the car park and wandered in. I was on the list, but a) It wouldn't have mattered if I hadn't been and 2) am I now marked as a "no show" as I wasn't ticked off the list.

Aside from the above, really enjoyed it.

Thank you

My name was checked against the list, but the person doing so didn't use a pen to tick me off. So not sure how no shows would be identified.

We briefly followed you on the way back and it sounded great too.

Massive thanks to Morgan and PH for such a good event, I thought Morgan really pushed the boat out. It was well worth the 200 mile round trip and an early start!

Early start and 250 mile round trip, but as everyone else has already said, well worth it great day out, thank you PH and Morgan. I think I might have to pop back to the factory for a better look soon, something very appealing now I've seen them in the flesh and the way they are 'born' :-)

Great morning. Just had a chat with Morgan' s MD and he was really impressed with the PH visitors and their generosity and behaviour. Fingers crossed that this becomes a regular event because everyone seemed to be enjoying it......anyone get a pic of my Vitesse?

Thank you PH and even bigger thanks to Morgan, one of, if not the best SS to date.

We followed you into Malvern and you car sounded wonderful!

Another fantastic Sunday Service! A big thanks to the PH guys for organizing the morning, it was one of the best yet!

Some of my pictures are on the link below, apologies for the poor quality, I only had my phone camera to work with and the glorious sunshine meant I could see the screen.

What a wonderful day out, thanks so much to the PH crew and Morgan for what was for me the best SS to date! Just my cup of tea, true craftsmanship, detail, well thought through component choice, buying in reliable engine and gearbox options and clothing them in ash, aluminium and leather - perfect.

I have to say I was a non-believer, only in as much as I thought "TVR (nothing wrong with TVRs!)but you know what I mean. So to see the design up close, very impressive, fantastic finish, I want one!

Thanks again, please run another so that we can share the Morgan experience with others!!

I too arrived after 10.00 and saw no piston head staff or any Morgan staff , I just went through an open gate and parked up , I wasn't checked off of any list or even spoken to by anybody who had anything to do with the event !

nobody asked my I.D. or who I was with etc hope I am not marked down as a no show ?

had a great day and many thanks to all the people who organised it , thank you

[Mike_C]

Well that was my first Sunday Service, and very enjoyable it was too! Looked like a great turnout, too. Couple of questions:

1. We arrived around 10am and there was no-one at the gate to sign us in, do we get marked down as a no-show?

2. Did anyone get some pictures of our Daimler Dart? Had a look through the albums posted but couldn't see any, although saw a few people grabbing a pic! :-) Would be nice to see one if anyone did get a pic!

Anyway, very enjoyable day all told and well worth the 250 mile round trip! Thanks PH.

Alex thanks mate that is a really sharp picture, I think I should have cleaned it first now. Lesdix thanks and ditto with respect to your car, it was a big hit with my son Bentley....he's six and loves yellow cars especially ones that look like they come from the future! I hope a few got the chance to drive up and round the hills as we are lucky to live here. Mike

Well done Morgan & PH

Another superb SS and probably the best I've attended. That 60's coupe next to the Le Mans cars was amazing.

Only problem is that I need to go back for the proper tour now

[bigzarelli]

I'm so glad I made the 260 mile round trip from north London. What an epic morning - one of the best Sunday Services yet - and I think it was the Morgan staff that made the difference. They were friendly, enthusiastic and passionate about everything they do. The factory tour was brilliant, the bacon sandwich tasty and there was a great selection of metal in the car park.

After my passenger ride I now want to own a 3-Wheeler, but need to figure out how to convince the boss. It's a shame she had to drop out at the last minute as she's loved the last few SSs. Maybe I need to book her on one of the M3W experience days?

Thanks to all at Morgan and PH for putting on a fantastic day out!

[ChemicalChaos]

That was a simply superb SS (an SSSS? ), and I take my hat off to PH and Morgan for organising it. I thoroughly hope that this is the first of many services there!

There was a lovely mouthwatering variety of PHers cars to look at, the factory tour was incredibly interesting, and the highlight was my ride in the Plus 4 SuperSport. That was ridiculously rapid for a 2-litre engine and sounded far more fruity than a 4 cylinder normally does, too! I wonder if I can convince mother to finally act on her several-decade pipe dream of owning one?


PS. did anyone get a photo of my silver Discovery next to Clivey's Black one on the field? I forgot to take one...
