However, I predict that Morgan, and the new generations, will need to meet in the middle somewhere; e.g. Morgan provide power steering and a front suspension set up that doesn't need greasing every 500 (1000) miles, and the next generation can get out to put up the hood and learn to drive properly without too many driver aids.
And eventually use an aero-type chassis for all classics.

An opinion I have voiced on a number of occasions. The only thing I am not sure about is the need to migrate away from a steel chassis. It would benefit from a redesign however, particularly arching the rear chassis over the axle the way everyone else had done by the mid 60's.
