New Moggies under African Skies
Other new cars brought into the country at the end of last year were firstly Philippe Marmissolle-Daguerre's Roadster. (How's THAT for a name worthy of owning a Morgan?)
I spent a delightful couple of hours lunching with Philippe and his wife Brigitte near their home in Camps Bay. Their home has probably the best view I've seen in Cape Town - which has now been forsaken for an even better view from their new place down the road!
The Morgan shares space with a convertible Bentley and a Porsche Cayenne S.
A very interesting couple who spend much of their time in Abidjan - the second biggest French-speaking city on the planet I was surprised to learn!
The Roadster colour is Sand with Maroon upholstery. Superb. Looks like a million Dollars.
Two cars were imported for Lord Irvine Laidlaw who is at beautiful Noordhoek Manor - over Chapman's peak from Hout Bay. This drive has to compare with the best I've ever experienced.
The Three Wheeler is stunning in Yellow with Brown uphosltery and the Roadster is Red - as you can see. This picture taken during my PDI (Pre-delivery inspection) drive up Chapman's. It seems so right - even if borrowed from Ferrari.
We've had a few niggles with these cars but hopefully we are close to solutions.
Till next time.
Terry.
