In answer to Digimap, of course you would have to be an enthusiast to buy an M3W. it is not a car for the masses but one aimed at a very niche market of people who do not mind spending £30k+ on a car with no hood or windscreen but buy it for the sheer fun of driving. If this needs explaining to anyone then they will probably never understand it.
The buyers do not however expect to be paying that sort of money to a well respected and long established manufacturer, for a car that has not had all the bugs ironed out of it. Neither do we expect to be an unpaid part of Morgan's development team. It is a good job that a large number of M3W buyers are ex motorcyclists because they will at least have some technical know-how to get over the problems.
I do not agree that buying an M3W is like buying a house, because when you buy a house you would employ an expert (i.e. a surveyor) to examine the property and write a report informing you of all the defects (i.e. wet rot etc.) and you would have recourse on them if you subsequently found a problem they had not listed in their report.
What also concerns me is that the resale value of these early cars may end up being considerably less than originally expected if all the problems become common knowledge within the motoring fraternity.
