Jonathan,
I didn't see the car but I did, in retrospect, hear about it. We were
having a drink one evening with our cars parked outside the cafe,
when the bar owner starts talking to us. He starts points to my car
saying that they make a couple a week of them in Istambul. We're
saying things like "No, you're mistaken there, mate" but this guy's
insisting that they're even exported to the UK. The thought of anyone
making a Morgan replica in Turkey simply never entered my head. I'd
entirely forgotten the conversation until your email. Does anyone else
on the list have any information about this?
