In simple terms, these people seem to fall into two distinct camps - those who are prepared for an 'hand built vehicle' and those who are not.
Is that really the issue or are you excusing poor performance from MMC? I dont know what most other small volume car makers are like - maybe someone could comment on TVR or even Caterham. But Lotus, whose volumes these days are likely less than Morgan, dont have the same basic issues with things like water leaks. You have to have some sympathy with MMC about the engine because thats out of their hands in practical terms. I guess they might have been able to use a Guzzi V twin or maybe even a Harley rather than S&S but I'm not sure these would have been much moire reliable
