The conclusion....covered so many times in the past on here, is that MMC prefer to stay with the past on the basis that most of their customers want it. So why go to the expense of developing a new rear suspension until they are forced to when the supply of back axles dries up.
I'm not sure customers, universally, do want the current set up.
Perhaps I'm unique (I doubt it) but I didn't buy my Morgan for it's handling - I bought it because it's made in the UK and it's a lovely looking vintage/new car. I didn't think 'I must have a car with leaf springs and sliding pillar things'.
I'm not sure many customers would to be honest.
The fact that it has rather odd handling characteristics means that I will try and improve it, if I can.
