We launched our <a href="http://www.morgan-cars.com.cn/wings">China 250 Wings project</a> also , and invited Stuart James to be on the stage with us. As always with these affairs, the reports of our ability, ambition and success vary according to the empathy of the media; however above all we have good photos now on line which tell the story; since our first approach to Morgan Motor Company in Dec 2010 to become a dealer, our appointment in Nov 2011, on June 18th 2013 we are now officially open. &nbsp; &nbsp; <div style="width:480px;text-align:right;"><a target="_blank"></a><a href="javascript%3Avoid%280%29%3B" target="_blank"><img style="border:none;" alt="" src="http://pic.photobucket.com/share/icons/embed/btn_geturs.gif"></a><a href="http://s1270.photobucket.com/user/Morgancars/library/Morgan%20Cars%20Beijing%20Press%20launch%2018%20June%202013" target="_blank"><img style="border:none;" alt="Morgancars's Morgan Cars Beijing Press launch 18 June 2013 album on Photobucket" src="http://pic.photobucket.com/share/icons/embed/btn_viewall.gif"></a></div>
 Some 30 media attended, and we had coverage in national English language media in China, Chinese auto media and even in British media. This is the power of the Morgan brand at work, augmented by the <a title="The PR agency for Morgan in China" href="http://www.eastwestpr.com" target="_blank"> EASTWEST PR</a> team's excellent media outreach. <a title="China Daily Business Pages - coverage" href="http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/business/2013-06/19/content_16635731.htm" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1403" alt="China Daily coverage 19 June 2013" src="http://www.jim-james.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Screen-Shot-2013-06-19-at-11.05.09-AM-300x261.png" width="300" height="261"></a> China Daily coverage 19 June 2013 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The Chinese media seem interested too: <a href="http://www.autohome.com.cn/news/201306/554795.html" target="_blank">http://www.autohome.com.cn/news/201306/554795.html</a><a href="http://um.auto.sina.com.cn/news/2013-06-18/23424636.shtml" target="_blank">http://um.auto.sina.com.cn/news/2013-06-18/23424636.shtml</a><a href="http://auto.163.com/13/0619/15/91OB5KBK00081G98.html?f=jsearch" target="_blank">http://auto.163.com/13/0619/15/91OB5KBK00081G98.html?f=jsearch</a><a href="http://auto.21cn.com/data/news/20130618/story_376090.html" target="_blank">http://auto.21cn.com/data/news/20130618/story_376090.html</a><a href="http://auto.sohu.com/20130619/n379243236.shtml" target="_blank">http://auto.sohu.com/20130619/n379243236.shtml</a><a href="http://www.chexun.com/2013-06-19/101900792.html" target="_blank">http://www.chexun.com/2013-06-19/101900792.html</a><a href="http://www.iche.com/xc/ynxw/495530.html" target="_blank">http://www.iche.com/xc/ynxw/495530.html</a><a href="http://finance.ifeng.com/roll/20130618/8142874.shtml" target="_blank">http://finance.ifeng.com/roll/20130618/8142874.shtml</a><a href="http://news.bitauto.com/liangxiangxiaxian/20130618/2106145662.html" target="_blank">http://news.bitauto.com/liangxiangxiaxian/20130618/2106145662.html</a><a href="http://prnasia.blog.hexun.com/86146419_d.html" target="_blank">http://prnasia.blog.hexun.com/86146419_d.html</a> The news even appeared in <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/industry/10129360/Morgan-opens-first-car-showroom-in-China.html#disqus_thread" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a>&nbsp;, who headlined a shot of a fleet of Morgan cars in a UK car park, and The Times. Ironically the Times used a shot of a Plus 4 in Shanghai taken at the launch of the Shanghai showroom. Subsequently we learnt that the agent there had not registered a company and has caused considerable political difficulties with Morgan. <a href="http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/business/industries/engineering/article3794551.ece" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1415" alt="The Times of London" src="http://www.jim-james.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Screen-Shot-2013-06-26-at-1.30.03-PM-300x235.png" width="300" height="235"></a> The Times of London <a href="http://www.jim-james.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Screen-Shot-2013-06-23-at-4.49.06-PM.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1407" alt="The Times of London article" src="http://www.jim-james.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Screen-Shot-2013-06-23-at-4.49.06-PM-241x300.png" width="241" height="300"></a> The Times of London article &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The only snag, on the 17th we had 3 cars in our showroom, on the 18th we had 2. A customer drove the 4/4 75th Anniversary edition car out of the showroom just 2 hours after viewing her. The delay? Making the bank transfer for the full amount. He left his crash helmet, Harley Davidson and the car hood at the showroom. He was just too excited to drive away there and then. Not everything in China takes as long as setting up a Morgan car dealership! <a href="http://www.jim-james.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/IMG_3317.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1411" title="44 75th driven away " alt="IMG_3317" src="http://www.jim-james.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/IMG_3317-300x200.jpg" width="300" height="200"></a> &nbsp;</div></div>
