Hi Charlie,
I fully accept that there is potentially an element of abuse, both with the test report above and for some of the exploits in YouTube videos.
But, we have a nice chap and long time Morgan enthusiast in our local MSCC group, who treated himself to a new M3W for his 70th birthday. When I asked him how it was going he said he was disappointed, citing numerous trips where had had parts of the car drop off on local runs. Somewhat stoically, he said a good run was when the car came home with all the parts it had on when it left (a bit of a parody of the successful pilot I thought!)
Additionally, he had complained about the (common?) transmission noise, only to be told "...a lot of them do that..." and "...it should get better with time..." by the factory. Being a Morgan enthusiast he had taken the "precaution" to not order his car until more than some 500 to 600 had been built so that hopefully any early teething troubles would have been identified and ironed out of the production process.
To be honest, I feel for him really.
