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,

I prefer the fake Morgan post ! the Chinese one looks too real !

Excellent !

Perhaps in the interest of keeping these two specialty manufacturers alive is the top goal, and it does not hurt to use foreign money to do it. I would go so far as to designate them National Treasures. (the cars, not the foreign investors)

Of course its April Fools day...well lets hope its a hoax

[Ronald G. Stephenson]

I think it is all very real. We know Bristol is on the ropes, and has administrators right now taking care of business. As to a hoax, this is far to insignificant an issue for the press to cover, unless it is legitimate. Without stirring the pot too much, I have to say I have no interest in Morgan, and that goes back 50 years. Too much of an anacronism, and the units are far to large to place in antique shops.
