“The introduction of the new Aero 8 line has enabled us to make major improvements in production of the Plus 8, 4/4, and four-seater models. In particular, the new paint shop eliminates what was previously something of a bottleneck in the production process,” Sales and Marketing Director Matthew Parkin said in a statement.
“This has enabled us to bring down the current waiting time for UK customers to under two years in all cases, and in some instances, a customer ordering now could take delivery as early as Christmas 2002.”
The Malvern company, which rarely issues press statements, said orders for its new Aero 8 and ash-framed “classic” models show no signs of a recession. “The waiting list may well grow again before too long.”
As well as speeding up the production process, Morgan’s new computer-controlled paint facilities provide over 30,000 possible colours.
