Did anyone see the Sir John Harvey Jones 90’s TV series (Trouble Shooter - UK origin) on The Morgan Car Company? – I am not sure whether this stimulating programme made it overseas. At the time I believe Morgan were producing about 12 cars per week with a waiting list of several YEARS. Peter Morgan had an ambition to make 13 a week and Jones was somewhat astounded by apparent lack of ambition, encouraging him to make major changes AND increase prices to cut their waiting list down. Well, Morgan ignored the advice and is still in business today, even competing at Le Mans last year with their ugly 'crossed-eyed' model. The point, I think, is that Morgan knew his market. Their cars had to be affordable and not too easily obtained or the exclusivity and demand would fall.
Do GT40 manufacturers also need to take care not to flood the market and destroy it?
Will this be happening to the 40 in a few years? Once the Ford GT is out and CAV, et al, are shelling out 40s like TVRs will we all still want one?
