Well they are, if you want to be traditional and you feel like an underpowered kent engine then you can still buy them new for industrial applications.
so Jays in your Mog do you look for a replica of the past or something that takes its inspiration from the past?
Errrr.....because the engines and gearboxes 50 years ago are not now available?
I meant not now available to fit in a new car. Gwyn... I bought my Morgan as an alternative to a classic car which I had been looking around for at the time. The attraction was ... apart from a rather good deal from the factory...reliability from a modern engine allied to all the attractions of a traditional Morgan, the style, the chassis and suspension and the fact that the 4/4 in particular has changed little in the past 50 years or so. And....ok, I'm perhaps in a minority here but I enjoy the feel of the car that the old fashioned chassis and suspension impart.
I don't run my car as a daily driver, I'd not buy a Morgan for that purpose as there are plenty of more viable alternatives and I don't believe that MMC build their cars as daily drivers, although they would probably disagree with me!
Realistically we probably have to accept that Morgan will be forced to change their chassis architecture at some time in the future when stocks of the rear axle dry up and there are no alternatives or they are forced into it by changing legislation. How they end up doing it will be interesting as will how they would manage to keep the costs down on the entry car, the 4/4.
