I don't know whether this happens to you all but recently I have been in discussion which some quite knowledgeable car enthusiasts (not Morgan specifically) who are convinced that Morgan made kit cars for people to build themselves.

And I always get asked by people "did you build it yourself"

Where did this myth come from? who popularized this thought?

it seems to be pretty widespread and they always seem surprised (and unconvinced) when I say that Morgans have never been self build cars that they have always been factory made

not helped by this seen on Ebay

The comment 'why bother' comes to mind

Is it these copy cat kit cars that have popularized the myth?
