What happens when all us oldies are dead and burried !! - MMC could be doomed.
I don't think I will be worrying about that after my passing
.
When we bought our first Morgan back in 2008 the choice was Trad 4/4 +4 & Roadster or Aero 8 & Max. We went with Trad and no doubt will stay with Trad. (no disrespect to the Aero or Trike Lovers, as long as you do not 'disrespect' us trad lovers).
I did'nt and still don't give two toots about how its made or what its made from as long as it works and passes its MOT.
For Me, The available Trad image IS the 'Morgan'
.
In our local Housing Market around here, it seems normal these days to buy a £1m Classic Home, Knock it down and then spend only half a million putting back a Pastiche Mansion worth £2.5m in its place for only the Really Wealthy to buy. Every one to their own!
At the same time, however, there will always be a Market and a Queue for the 2up/2down terraces needing an upgrade and an army of builders out there there to help.
And, there will always be a market for the Classic Trad Morgan with a few thousand miles on the clock worth spending a few quid on to keep roadworthy for the pleasure of bouncing along those rough old country lanes. Nothing at all to do with 'Noggins' and 'Sunday Lunch', All about driving a classic sports car. Other Marques out of production have a similar effect.
IMHO, Hopefully, The next generation of the Morgan Family and its Dealerships will realise that there should always be room for both New Traditional and for Ultra New Models in Gas Guzzeling V's or Eco Friendly Electric models, just as long as The Price is Market Right and 'Motoring' as we know it is allowed to survive other than in the Movies or a Museum.
