I have raised this question the the factory in the last couple of week as my
plus 8 is nearing completed. The balance of payment has to be made via the
dealer (which is a fair chunk of money) and what is the position if the dealing
goes into receivership while holding it. The response from the factory for my
dealer was that it wont happen!!! Fingers crossed Martin

Donal That is very sad , and I can appreciate just how worrying this is for
you. The only crumb of comfort I can offer is the fact that MMC insist that the
deposits that customers pay to get their build slot are forwarded to Malvern
and should not be held by the dealer. If Monks have followed this then your
money should be safe , but I would make contact with the factory today and
check with them. Don't use email , ring and ask for Mark Leddington and talk it
through with him.
I fear that this may not be the last of these "new" dealers who will go a
similar way. MMC appeared to be quite desperate to expand its dealer network ,
and took
on several new outlets who do not have the background and history with
Morgans. I think the lesson here (accepting this is locking the stable door
after the horse has bolted in your case Donal) is to order your car from one of
the longer established dealers as they have a long history of satisfied Morgan
customers that they have built up over decades and they are not going to
jeopardise that.

It is with much personal regret that I have to report the demise of Monks Heath
Motors as a Morgan dealership - they went into receivership earlier this week
but the future is not clear as there is the possibility of a significant
'Motoring Angel' coming to the rescue. They have numerous build commitments
with MMC from a range of local
customers. I live within 4 miles of this, the newest Morgan Dealership!
Allow me to be selfish for an instant - my order (K4988) which is scheduled for
build next week is through this dealership and I have specified a substantial
quantity of dealer fitted extras. My contact at the dealership is very helpful
but is also personally impacted by this recent development. There may be a
natural solution that emerges that will meet my needs so I still have some
faith! 😳. In the mean time if any of you have any advice or steer that I might
benefit from, I'd be extremely grateful to hear. Many thanks. / Donal.
Regards,
Donal.
