Bristol New Owner

[GREG]

I was surprised to hear the news this morning that a takeover bid from Morgan Cars has been accepted.

I guess it could be a good fit and a three wheeler Speedster could look stunning, but not sure about the three wheeler Blenheim !

Someone will be in trouble with the headmaster for breaking this clearly embargoed news...........

My wife said it was on the Jeremy Kyle show ! I will look at the recording later.

Is there any truth to the above? I have checked online and cannot find any reference to a Morgan takeover bid.

Did you check on line what the date is ? I should have done before listening to my wife.

I checked online this morning after reading the post. Nothing!

....well if nothing else they have plenty of practise in using wood in the construction, so maybe they see the opportunity in re-making 404 and 405s; compared with most of their current range they are quite modern......

Well a word of warning, today it's April Fools Day.....;-))))

This said, I would be very happy to see Morgan and Bristol working together.

Cheers from a (still) overheating 409,
