I recently noticed that there is a Morgan dealership in San Francisco (Isis Imports Ltd)
I understand that the Isis Imports have been Morgan agents for some years. Would be an interesting visit.
How many folks drive their Morgans daily? I know they're rather pricey, or vintage, and worth taking extreme care of...
.
Many of us use our Morgans as a daily drive. (When it is not raining to hard
)
There are now three species of Morgans.
Traditional - a style unchanged since 1936. But everything under the hood everything is of the period e.g. my 1989 car has the Ford engine current in 1989, the modern Roadster has a modern Ford Mustang 2.7 lt engine. etc. The brakes etc on mine have been upgraded to match the modern car. Most Trads you will find in the USA were imported in the 1960 & 70. So are treated like you would an MGB or TR 4/5/6. But can be upgraded.
Aeros have a state of the art ali chassis and BMW running parts. There are very few in the USA.
M3W have S&S engines - as you will see form the MMC web site.

Also, I've been reading hints about quality issues with the new Three Wheelers... Can anyone point me to conversations concerning that issue? Sounds interesting to me.

Over 700 M3W have been built in the past 18 months. Over this period of time the inevitable teething problems have been discovered and are being tackled by MMC, dealers and owners.
