There is obviously some confusion.
The premise, offered by Phil, was residuals. Morgan was once famous for the highest residuals of any marque everywhere in the world for decades. Historically, the new mog buying decision was greatly eased by that. New car problems and their sorting issues were overwhelmed by the simple thrill of actually being lucky enough to get a new Morgan.
Yet the old fact of high Morgan residuals has disappeared in many countries, the UK notably one and the US Aeros being another, though solid residuals still exist in many countries. One can also postulate that this new trend that could continue lower. Arguments that Morgan residuals are now "no worse" than other cars don't address any of these issues and are likely defensiveness or a delight in lost value.
Certainly, as an academic exercise, it would be more fruitful to try to figure out what is happening and what, if anything, can be done to stop it. However, if the subject is uncomfortable to a few people, it can be dropped here. There is no wish to discomfit anyone.
