Picking up my Morgan Plus Six from the Morgan factory in Malvern, UK
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 жов 2023
- A little bit of our journey, the views over malvern and of course the all important unveiling of my Morgan Plus Six. If you haven’t yet seen it, check out my specification before seeming the final finish. With a paint to sample finish of Porsche Amethyst, metallic silver with a matt finish, tan seats….. just check out the video and see for yourself. There’s more to follow, so like and subscribe if you’d like to see more. Who needs a restromod when you can buy a new Morgan.
As for the buying experience; for me it was a pure delight. A factory visit mid build, talking with the people actually crafting the bodywork and then being treated to this wonderful unveiling. I’m not sure if this is the norm, yet if you’re in the market for a new Morgan, treat yourself to a trip to Malvern and order there. With a little luck and a fair wind you’ll enjoy the same treats. A special thanks to Dan, without whom it wouldn’t have been the same.

Your excitement was brilliant mate like a kid in a sweet shop! 😎
Still is every time I open the garage door
A Morgan car is truly a unique experience, I hope the car lives up to your expectations. People will smile at you when your driving the car where ever you go. I am privileged to have had 4, I still have a copy of the build photos of my late wife sat in the rolling chassis. My current Morgan is an AeroMax number 10/100, I’d be happy with any Morgan as I love being a member of the Morgan family 😘
Areomax hhhhhmmmm lovely
Loved your video and enthusiasm!
It is a stunning car.
I picked my brand new plus four up from Ledgerwood Morgan in 2022 and my brother filmed my wife and I seeing it for the very first time. I will always treasure that moment to my dying day!
Thank you for sharing👍👍👍
It’s such a great experience.
Love the colour. Enjoy the car.
Will do 👍🏻
This car is pure emotion. Applied art. There is not a single rational reason why anyone would own this car, yet that emotion is reason enough why I would love to have it. Beautiful from all angles, but more than its appearance is its inner aesthetic, the idea that travel must be an adventure in itself, a struggle between man, space and time. I hope this work of art will be cherished and cared for in your family for generations to come.
You are so right, no rational reason, just an emotional one
Did the same thing 30 years ago with my Plus 8 from the factory, a truly magic experience. Not quite as "plush" back then though 🙂
I hope you enjoy the car it looks fab. I think the test car outside is the one my brother drove a couple of weekends ago!
I still have mine after 30 years, and it still brings us huge amounts of pleasure
It’s probably only the entrance that’s changed. Everything else, including the people are probably the same 🤣
You lucky barstard! I'm sure you've worked your backside of for this. Thank you for this journey and may I say great taste. Greetings from Oz and I'm GREEN with envy hehehe love her!
17 minutes. Now, I can finally hinge up my jaw and close my mouth. I had a love relationship with a ’59 MGA Coupé in the early 70’s. How I miss that car. If I evvver win the lottery it will be used for A Morgan. Thanks for the flick… and always stay forever young 🙏🙏🙏😁😁😁
Keep buying those tickets and fingers crossed
@@julian_theviews Yes! Thank You. It’s important to have Dreams 😀😀😀🙏😊
That is absolutely gorgeous 😍
Lovely to see you collecting it.
Wishing you very happy motoring.
Quite an experience.
what a beautiful color
It’s awesome. So many colours depending on the light
My wife and I wanted to do this when we lived in London in the 1970's. At the time the wait list for a new Morgan was about two years. We thought about putting our names down but knew we would be leaving the UK for the States before then, and realistically, we probably couldn't have afforded one then anyway. Fast forward several decades to 2017 and we finally bought a new car and picked it up from the factory. In our case though, it was a Volvo XC 90, built to our specs, and the pick up point was in Gothenburg, Sweden, so, granted our car isn't quite as exotic as yours, Julian, but getting a trip to Sweden from California was pretty special, and the handover, including a briefing beforehand with coffee and "cannelbuller" (cinnamon buns) in the waiting room, and a tiny single car showroom similar to yours was quite thrilling. Be well, and enjoy your Morgan! Greetings from California.
That sounds pretty cool as a car collection goes. It doesn’t matter what the car is, it’s all about the emotion. The relationship with a car (or bike) is what it’s all about.
Congratulations on the beautiful Morgan and have fun 🎉
Thanks, I’m going to have a blast
Amazing, you stood in front of my white one, that is now on it's way to N of Scotland 8:30 in 🙂
I know all about it. Dan and I like a chat! Why do a 500mile slog to get it back when the driving routes are your doorstep when you get home. Enjoy 😊
Was surprised to see a sales board in front of it ??@@julian_theviews
It said sold 👍🏻
Thought Dan was trying to get Double bubble 🙂@@julian_theviews
bloody beautiful!! congratulations! Best colour combo I've seen yet! Just wish there were more wheel design choices, although you chose the best option they have despite the fact it'll be a pain to get the brake dust off them. Again, beautiful spec inside and out
I’m with you on the wheels. I really like the Pepperpot, yet more options would have probably seen me buy another set. One for winter and one for summer
The overal spec, colour and interior choices are perfect, you have great taste...lucky boy
Thanks, and yes, very very lucky
Beautiful colors❤
Thank you! Cheers!
what a beautiful car and stunning spec. lovely to see the genuine excitement utter joy of collecting your car. enjoy it and best of luck.
Thanks. Out for a drive today. Every time I open the garage I crack into a smile.
Congratulations on your new Morgan. The interior/exterior colour combination is exquisite.
What a thing to look forward to stepping into and driving.
I hope you have many happy miles with it.
Thanks, looking forward to some less muddy floody days in the uk
Just perfect in and out ,love it .
Thanks so much!
That is one helluva nice car and the colour is glorious. My colour right now is jealous green.
🤣
Beautiful car ,the colour and quality of the paint work is stunning,the wheel choice is spot on
Thanks. The wheels get mixed reviews.
A work of art as much as it is a car!
I agree
Looks fantastic - the hardtop definitely finishes the car well. I bought the ex Plus Six press car in the summer. I drove mine out of the factory instead of the glass box which was also a great experience. The difference between Morgan and other brands is that 99.9% of the comments from people you meet are positive. Get some miles on it!
You’re so right, I can make rude noises and everyone smiles; if I do that in the Porsche I get frowns
What do the .1% say about it ? Ive had 4 mogs but no more their too soft now for a different type of driver / owner....
I haven’t driven the old Mogs, yet I can assure you the Plus Six is far from soft
@@bertiewooster3326 I've got some sympathy with the 'too soft' view but you could say the same about most modern cars vs the previous generation. The roof not leaking, aluminium chassis, decent ride over the bumps and loads of power sucked me into Morgan for the first time so you are right. I wouldn't have touched an old one even though I've had loads of classics.
Congratulations! Awesome car .
Thanks!
Congratulations from Oslo :)
Thanks, and thanks for watching
Great vid Ju. I look forward to seeing it. I’m glad Loo “enjoyed” the experience with ya. 😁👍
It’s peachy. When you’re down you can take it for a run and see for yourself.
What a lovely handover ritual. Excellent video, thank you!
Thanks for the comment. Hope to be adding some more content, so watch this space
Sheer elegance and beauty. When I worked for Midland Red I drove past the Morgan factory everyday and saw numerous Morgans all over Malvern daily . Your spec for the motor is up there with the very best I have ever seen ❤
Thanks, that means a lot
Wow looks amazing excellent choice enjoy 😊
Thanks
Thanks for taking me along....happy driving 😊
Thanks for coming
Real celebration of the pickup, I really like it. Fantastic car, congratulations! I wish you a lot of highly enjoyable miles and a lot of fun.
Regards from Switzerland (with very beautiful Alpine passes).
Thanks. I’ll be heading for those passes in the summer 👍🏻
Beautiful car and specification. I was at the factory this week with my Aero 8 having a hard top fitted. One of my favourite places to visit. The people are just as special as the cars.
Too bloody right. I’m back up to the factory for a service. I could do it locally, yet going to Malvern is something special.
That’s a stunner!
Thanks
Really excited for you, great video.
Thanks. Look out for more to follow
Bloody hell that's stunning, what an utterly gorgeous colour combination. Outstanding 👏👌
Thanks Neil
Watching this is like anticipating Christmas as a nine year old; so excited that you're almost sick to your stomach. Lucky you, man!
Still feeling the same every time I open the garage door 😁
Stunning colour combination. Enjoy your Morgan 😊
Thanks
Gorgeous. Congratulations.👍
Cheers, I’m chuffed to bits with it.
Wow what a stunner of a car enjoy every minute of it
Waiting for a day without torrential rain for more minutes
The color is phenomenal!
It’s something else. Always different depending on the light.
What a wonderful car. Great colour. Happy and Safe driving! Regards from Berlin, Germany
Thanks. Take it easy too 👍🏻
Beautyful!!
Thanks
Wow what an amazing colour.
Very special.
We had a factory visit 25 years ago and it was terrific, we could go anywhere and chat to anyone, other than the prototype/ Le Mans area.
It’s the same now. Access everywhere!
What a classy car!
Thanks very much. I feel very lucky
Very cool and loverly have fun man))))
It’s a blast
We went up to the Morgan factory a few weeks ago in our new Plus 6 (bit topsy turvy I know, should have done this before we bought it). Ours looks very similar to the Plus 6 demonstrator that was sitting outside the handover bay (has a few more extras). Love ours and I hope you enjoy yours.
I don’t think there’s a wrong way around to visit Morgan.
Loving the plus Six even more than my four.
I'm not exactly a Morgan aficionado, but I do think it is wonderful that we in the UK still have a hand-built motor company. She looks great - I love her swooping lines and that body colour is exquisite! I hope you enjoy her for many years.😊
I agree about Morgan being uk based. Parts may come from around the world, yet the craft of creating these cars is based upon years of experience. It’s a joy to watch, and the car is a joy to drive.
Quelle émotion ! c'est génial.
Touches the soul
Beautiful car. Enjoy.
Thanks! 👍
Totally stunning and I WANT one
It is something special
Well done Sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
Best looking Morgan I’ve seen.
Thanks John. I’m so happy with the spec.
Gorgeous colour 👍
Thanks, an easy choice
Wow! That is beyond gorgeous! You’ll really enjoy owning that! Haven’t been to the Morgan factory since they built the new visitor centre - it looks amazing.
I highly recommend going back….and buying one while you’re there 😁
Beautiful.
Thank you!
..love that lour...well done...!
What is the colour called..?
Porsche amethyst and the roof is a Renault silver
What a nice colour!
Sweeeeeet sweet colour
😝@@julian_theviews
Exceedingly pretty colour.
So many colours in one
Lovely looking spec! Congratulations on the new car.
Thanks, hope to add some more delights soon
Great report Julian thank you🤩. It' s one of my dream come true. Malvern Hills looks so cute
The exterior paint color is just sublime. Your Plus Six is gorgeous. Can' t wait to see your test drive report and have your thoughts about the differences between your ex Plus Four and your new Plus Six.
Thanks. Full review to follow.
What a spec!
Something special
Wow.. stunning 🫵🏼 hoping to get myself one in the next few years and you’ve just given me the goosebumps.
0% interest at the moment. Tell Dan at Malvern that I sent you
Superb colour combo. Interior looks ultra classy and expensive. Sumptuous.
Thanks…. Almost went brown leather, glad I didn’t as the tan has a great orangey colour in a certain light
No matter what angle one views it from it is a thing of beauty.
Certainly is
The depth to the paintwork is real quality.
It’s quite something
Beautiful car 👌
Thanks, feeling lucky
Fantastic specs. I think the Porsche is technically a better car but will age pretty soon. A Morgan is a new classic car and will never age. I think you made the right choice opting for a Morgan. Congrats and make lots of happy memories with it.
The dilemma at the moment is if it’s worth keeping the Porsche… it sits there looking sad, lonely and unused
@@julian_theviews yes well there is always a market for a
Porsche 911. Just sell it. Recoup some money, invest it and let the money grow. Now it’s only costing money.
beautiful car !
Certainly is 👍🏻
What a terrific handover video! I absolutely love that color, and is one of the possibilities for my Morgan, once it comes time for my allocation.
Thanks. Keep an eye out for some other colours on Morgan’s Social Media. I’ve had a sneak preview of something coming through that I was lusting after.
@@julian_theviews Ooooh that sounds nice! Since allocations aren't happening here in the US until probably the new year, I've been playing around with the configurator. A nice purple would be really cool. 💜😎
I wondered if something similar could be achieved with a blood red opposed to the purple? Also look at the materials for the super 3… you’d be surprised what you can spec that doesn’t appear on the configurator. If they do it on one car, they can normally find a way to do it on another.
Your wife seems a little less impressed, I'm assuming for her its just a car! However there is something very special about a Morgan, and the colour choice is spectacular, and the cabin has that unique British luxury finish, that only a British car manufacturer like Morgan is capable of producing.
Great to see someone genuinely excited getting his new car, i wish you many happy (hopefully trouble free!) miles.
Whenever I take delivery of a new car, i am always nervous and apprehensive in case I find a fault, or it fails to live up to expectations, however clearly that was not a problem for you!
She pretends she’s not excited, yet she’s a bit of a petrolhead in her own rights. When I say petrolhead, she likes driving, hence her choice of an Eletra for her electric car.
This is my second ‘new’ Morgan. The first one was a limited edition LM62, so I had less of a say on the specification and less emotional investment in the car itself. When i saw issues on the initial pick up (just bits of glue and loose fitting hard top), I was immediately disappointed. Then with the coolant and brake issues I just couldn’t get past it and the car lost it’s appeal. Hence the change. It wasn’t a problem with driving a Morgan, just that car.
The Plus Six has been something else though. I know there will be bits to refine on my new purchase. Yet that’s the thing with a hand built car, everything needs a little check and a tighten a little more often. In between times it’s just miles of smiles
@@julian_theviews Clearly I was wrong about your wife! The Electra is a fantastic looking car, and along with the new four door GT - the Emeya, which should be on sale in next year, represent a great move by Lotus! I would have liked an Emeya myself, but at a projected price in excess of 100k was outside what I could spend.
You should get your wife to post a similar video when she takes delivery of her Electra - it will probably be a first for UA-cam!
Pleased to hear you are enjoying your Morgan, and I await the next videos...
The Eletra unveiling is up 👍🏻
Congratulations. Happy for you. Enjoy! So much improved mechanically over the years. But the look, oh the classic look is sensational. It’s a Morgan. I owned and drove Porches for 20 years. Should have bought Morgan’s. My loss. 😱
Both, have both 👍🏻
Beautiful colour beautiful car ,
Indeeeeeedie
This video and that moment when you said “F ME!” … this just made my year. What a great moment to capture.
It just slipped out, whoops 🤣
Nice motor. Nice to see how excited you are. 😄 It's like Christmas!! Go slow down our lane eh!
Soooo excited.
Yes indeedie, lanes are busy places, always aware and sight lines established before giving it some.
Man… i can feel your happiness and Joy! The car is amazing, and the color is simply stunning. Can i ask you the drive feeling? I’Ve a 911 and i’m thinking of it.
I have a 992 4s. The refinement and accomplished nature of the Porsche is head and shoulders shoulders above a Morgan.
It’s not a Morgan though. There is something very special about a Morgan….and the current engine and gearbox makes it insanely fast.
Congrats! Use it well.
I wish i had the ability to have the angst of choosing a morgan or a porsche.
I know, I feel so privileged to have both.
WOW what an amazing spec so pleased you had a dry day to collect . Amazing craftsmanship quality over quantity happy motoring . Still waiting to win the premium bonds I can dream
Keep dreaming, mine came true
Thanks Julian you have been lucky enough to have brought 2 . I was blown away by the factory tour wanted a morgan 3
I had a 3 on order, yet opted out due to a lack of garage space
Now come on Julian thats just being greedy lol . Look forward to your journeys
I know, yet what a great toy 😁
Beautiful car, a touch edgy and a step away from the purist's BRG but stunning. It will certainly stand out at the next Morgan cars and coffee. You're a lucky man.
That’s what i aimed for. Although i saw another great spec. Check out my latest video
You will not believe this. I was on a factory tour there the other week and have pictures of your car. I knew it had to be yours as it matched the spec you showed us. I have been waiting to see this video to check it was yours. Beautiful car. I managed to miss my friends car that was being finished behind yours at the time! Enjoy.
That’s so cool. I avoided seeing the painted body in my visit, so any pics you could send would be great
@@julian_theviews yes happy to. How shall I sent them, I have three of them.
@rcBitz julian@theviewschool.org 👍🏻👌🏻
My biggest and honest greetings. 😊... (I'm dying because of the envy 😂😂)
Cheers 👍🏻
Wow!
Weeee
A dream !
Yep, and I’m in it….. so lucky
Beautiful outside paint colour! Similar to the Midnight Cherry Red of my Tesla Model Y.
Ooo, I’ll check it out.
Basically the same car 😂
A friend, Richard Parker from Worcester (sadly no longer with us) would have loved this video. He restored Morgan's in his spare time. Enjoy!
The next time I’m out I’ll spare a thought for Richard. Thanks for the comment
Morgan’s = possessive singular form
Morgans = plural
So why have you used the possessive singular form?
Perhaps he restored Morgan’s Morgan or Morgan’s Morgans. It could have been an incorrect autocorrect.
Mission accomplished. Out yesterday and stopped at Brands Hatch Morgan. Thought of Richard and wondered if his workshop was as… workshopy.
Lucky SOB 😍
I think that everyday 👍🏻
Beautiful car congratulations preferred over the Porsche ,its timeless will turn more heads
There’s something quite special about it
I noticed your taxi passed my easiest, cheapest way to London. The trusty Oxford Tube.
I always avoid the tube when possible 😬
Favourite beverage Guinness? Lovely car.
A mix of Guinness and Vimto
as someone who was born in Malvern may i say the name is pronounced Molvern, but you are right its very pretty.
A lovely town. Haven’t had the chance to explore properly. I will return!
My town Malvern does not look like your town of Malvern. Of course mine is Arkansas, USA and the only thing we produce is meth. Love the car something else we don't have in the states but Morgans have always been one of my favorite automobiles. Thanks for sharing your car delivery with us.
I’ve been to Malvern…sort of. Stayed in HotSprings for a friend’s wedding. Missed the Meth tour though 😆
Despite what others say, I think you made the correct decision on the wheels (in silver would also have worked since you have a silver roof). They remind me of old school steel racing wheels; a perfect look for a Morgan. The other Plus Six wheel options which are wide open to show "show off" disc brake size and caliper colour might work on a boring looking hot hatch; on a Morgan for me such wheels are a big thumbs down. How about an update video? Have you had any problems?
Thanks for the comment. I’ve never been too sure about the open wheels as they are a bit too gappy.
No problems with the car as such. The overseer light came on, yet I had that on my manual plus four where it doesn’t actually apply, so it’s most likely a sensor issue.
More videos to come now the rain has stopped!
Wunderschön
Isn’t it.
My best friend bought a morgan over fifty years ago, with a one year waiting time
I had to wait 6weeks 😁
Lovely car. Hope you got paint protection and ceramic on paint 👍
Not at the mo, although it will be going on soon
Lovely video and Morgans are fabulous, just a small point if I may...Mal-vern as you say..is pronounced Moll-vern..like malt loaf..mollvern..Malvern... great footage and enjoy your new toy!! Thanks for the footage.
If only I could turn back time and amend my pronunciation. Thanks for your comments, really appreciated.
WOW! Your excitement was so great that I am having a hard time not smiling during the video. I do wish that you would have used that brilliant English humor when after the cover came off and you said "FK me" if you turned to Dan and then said "it's the wrong color!" then laughed. Congratulations and thanks for your positive energy.
I’d have loved to have, unfortunately a spontaneous reaction got in the way 🙄 🤣
Enjoy while you can the powers that be want it dead.
Every moment 👍🏻
Inspired colour combination, the mans got style….
The car has style… I have aspirations 😆
@@julian_theviews beautiful cognac interior is the bomb, nice retort!!!
Probablemente el coche más bello que se construye en estos tiempos. Cuando compras un Morgan compras la inmortalidad.
Sólo estaría en desacuerdo en que Morgan haya sucumbido a la moda absurda de los volantes achatados. Tampoco creo que la palanca del cambio automático debería replicar a la de BMW y debería recurrir a un diseño más clásico. Deseo que seáis muy felices con este sueño convertido en coche.
The only downside is the look for the gear lever. Everything else is spot on.
Like everything but the wheels!
They are certainly getting mixed feedback
Hi Julian, I hope it won’t be too long before you discover The Cottage in the Woods.
Less time now 👍🏻
Are you still the owner of the Plus 6?
I am a Morgan owner for 20 years, after owning 6 Porsche cars.
Yep, the Plus Six replaced the 2022 LM62 Plus Four. As for Porsche, I firmly believe the Morgan could and should be considered a 718 rival. Although 911 is a different proposition altogether, which is why I have one of those too.
Tell me more, 6Porsches, 20years of Morgan, there is more to that story I’m sure.
I owned 6 Porches in total, 3 911s I also enjoyed my 928 😀
I’m sure we will meet up sometime
If you haven’t started at The Cottage in the Woods, you should give it ago. I love staying there, walking the hills & visiting the Factor. I’m booked in for May, for the Malvern Spring Fair.
I have a service due, so already looking to book. Thanks for the tip.
I’m considering a 944, nostalgic purposes as my Dad had one…. and they’re cheep
