BMW buys Morgan
Discussion
Spotted this elsewhere & it made me laugh; thought I'd share it-
"Shocking news....following their collaboration with the boss eyed Aero 8, BMW has bought Morgan and plans to ransack the quaint Malvern firm are already in place.
The basic details are this; by 2007, we will not only have the traditional Morgan shape (actually based on a shortened 1 Series platform) but the 4/4 will be replaced by the 4x4.
The new Morgan 4x4 will actually be based on the X3 floorpan and thus give the Bavarian manufacturer a much needed showroom boost in selling pig ugly overpriced toss to vacous dickheads.
The Morgan 4x4 which will be assembled at the firm's Steyr plant in Austria will be joined in 2009 by Morgan's first ever people carrier which is likely to be built in numbers of up to 25'000 a year at BMW's Spartanburg plant in the US.
Industry pundits expect the forthcoming new Morgans to fully cement BMW's strategy of replacing well regarded driver's cars with whatever laughable crap the thick as pigshit Hello! reading Beckham classes will pay good money for."

I don't know how many PH'ers have been to Morgan's factory, in Pickersleigh Road, Malvern Link, but it really is like going back in time.....
Rolling chassis are pushed by hand from shed to shed, usually by a couple of blokes who look like they should have retired years ago.......
Long may it continue........
ex Morgan plus 8 owner.......
