I've read all the posts in this thread and they are a puzzle to me. As I commented elsewhere, I still dont "get" the trad morgan but I can accept that they are to the taste of most forum members. Definitely an enthusiasts car and one for which you show a lot of enthusiasm. But in this thread we have a discussion of other sports cars, some bought as Morgan replacements, others bought as additions to the family Mog. And what is puzzling is the nature of some of the cars discussed which are miles away from a Morgan in their nature. Cars like the SLK or the Z4 are heavy, complicated, lack driving edge, dont really encourage sporty driving. Convertibles not sports cars. The old XK jag is even worse - good looking but a lumbering lump of a car.
By now some of you will see what I'm coming to. Why dont you consider a true reliable british sports car like a Lotus. If you want a slightly more civilised version but still with Porsche quality handling rather than SLK, then there is the Evora. For the true enthusiast the Elise / Exige.
This is the board for discussion of non Morgans so I believe you wont mind me raising the L word. But seriously, why would car enthusiasts ( and you have to be an enthusiast to buy a Morgan) go for German hairdresser convertibles ( your description not mine
) and not even consider the other british sports car?
