I'm not so sure... Morgans, like many classics, tend to be pampered. Mine sits in a dehumidified garage and will probably do 7,000 miles a year - mostly in the dry. On this basis it will live for centuries.

My Range Rover has 110,000 problem free miles on the clock and lives outside 24/7 and still looks and drives like new. Would a Morgan put up with such tough love?


I agree that modern tintops do last well and are abused more than our Morgans. However, because depreciation becomes a moajor facot with a tintop there will come a point when the garage turn around and say there's a bill comingand it's not economical to ix it. With a Morgan we just keep fixing them because we can and lower depreciation makes it wothwhile to do so. Hence, they're likely to last longer on average. Just a thoery.
