Very nice coments but what a lot of tosh. I have owned 3 Rolls-Royce and 1 Bentley covering 19 years of ownership as a member of the RREC. I find it is right to compair the two as this is suppose to be British craftsmanship at its best. I have also built a Kit Car many years ago before i could afford a Morgan and that bonnet fitted with 1/8 inch gap all around on my first attempt. In Morgans own video Handmade 2 they make a bonnet for an Aero and it is said they wanted a closer bonnet fit. Do you realy think because that car is more expesive it should be made to a higher standard. It is more expensive because it is biger with more expensive components in it with a more complex bought in chassis.
A Bentley is just a mass produced car in reality a big one at that. A mclaren is realy a hand built supercar with state of the art technology second only to the aircraft industry.
MMC will cary on building to these standards as long as people keep their eyes shut to the issues that come up with these cars.
Parts of the Kit Car industry has moved with the times a accepts that people demand a better build quality, othwise there would still be lots of Novas and Duttons for sale.
Morgans are very nice cars but it does frustrate me that people can not accept things are not as they should be. No matter how we look at it 30-40k for a toy is a lot of money. If a person only wants driving pleasure then MX5 is the answer. A Morgan is about the looks but the looks are not right.
When i had my 4/4 and went to my local car club meet, it was laughed at how bad the fit was. What could i say, they were right.
Perhaps, and i dont like to go there, it is yet again a North, South thing. Us northerners want good value for money and as we come from engineering backgrounds realy understand manufacturing and quality.
