I'm a big fan of the trad. I like the way it handles and everthing.I've found that if I jump in it after a modern car it seems all clunky with lots of drawbacks but after a few minutes I feel as if I'm driving it better and this feeling continues. So I get a real enjoyment from (re)learning how to drive it each time. This is what makes me love the car and this is what I miss in modern cars which effectively remove the need for driver skill (even parking themselves now)! It's insidious - parking the mog yesterday I was instinctively waiting for the reversing sensors to bleep and luckily remembered in time that I haven't got them.
So I say yes to modernisation on new models but keep the old technology as well; leave the trads alone.
Having said that:
I'd like a wider body on my roadster - partly because the wings look too wide to me. As you may have noted from my other postings I love the drophead coupe look; but I don't think I can face the older car so, like Dave W, the 4/4 2 litre is almost my perfect Morgan. And wouldn't it be nice to be able to shut the door in the rain without having to hold the hood up - anyone perfected a finger saving technique?
Lastly, more ground clearance; my first Mog (1986) hd a completely flat underside; no sagging sumps!
