I suggest that with a new, or recent, Morgan (Classic or M3W) you are really buying into the vintage look and feel, with modern, reliable (hopefully) mechanicals to support reasonably affordable running costs without the need for a workshop and backup army to keep you on the road. So comparisons with true vintage cars are a bit of a stretch beyond the period look and feel aspect.
Very True. This is supposed to be a £35,000'ish product that has been designed, produced and tested by skilled engineers. If I wanted (or expected) bits to fall off, wear prematurely, not fit correctly and handling problems I would have got a kit car for a fraction of the price rather than order a M3W. Possibly being a bit hard on the kit cars really, most are put together very well. I have built 2 JZR's and a Grinnall Scorpion, none of which had anything fall off and everything fitted properly. What the M3W hopefully has going for it is fairly depreciation free fun motoring, as long as it doesn't get a name for being badly built and unreliable.
I would say it was not ideal to expect the dealers to find and correct all the manufacturing faults before delivery. Maybe the same effort should be put into quality of production as quantity seems to be getting. I hope I am pleasantly surprised by a flawless car when (if) it ever arrives.......Things are not looking good as my car has been delayed again I today, this time by a clerical error. Maybe I should have gone for the Triking after all, good handling, great engine, sorted design and I could put it together myself.
