It has been an eventful month for Morgan cars.
Our showroom is coming along nicely, with qudos to anySCALE the wonderful architects. I intend to host a birthday party in the space on the 25th January.
Our first tranche of 6 cars will be on sailing from Southampton on Jan 21st to arrive 26th Feb.
Our import license should be issued on 21st January. Nearly 12 months after we started this whole process.
Lots of fun with cash flow, bank requirements for remitting funds overseas, over ordering build slots, and the labyrinth of regulations for customs; however it is all looking extremely promising.

The Luxury China event was a success for Morgan Cars, and for our new venture. It was a rather nervous time as we had so many moving parts, if you pardon the pun. Two brand new cars on loan from Morgan, a show which had not been held before, a new team, and a new company with a group of part time male models. British Ambassador to China, Sebastian Wood CMG, opened our press conference which was attended by over 50 Chinese and International Media. We secured coverage in China, the UK, Ireland, S. Africa, India and France. We did take an order for a Plus 8 at the event - which validated my confidence in the brand - and had a number of conversations with potential dealers and partners.

Autocar China kindly decided to feature the Morgan Roadster in their leading magazine. With circulation of 180,000 across China , the magazine is licensed from Autocar UK.

A journalist had seen the Roadster on a quick visit to the local shops! The best kind of PR. Chen Xin, journalist, and Liu Yu, Executive Editor in Chief, drove the car for the day.

Liu Yu posted to his Weibo - one wag asked 'nice car but where is the luggage?'

We visited Forbidden City, Ming Tombs and The Great Wall; the first time a Morgan has been to any of these - hence the crowds!
