Possibly yes. If owners regard rust - and the poor quality control that it might imply - as "nit picking" then I regret it.

As I said Catherham & Westfield - who are also price sensitive small volume producers do not seem to have the problem so it is not unavoidable.

It is a pity as the Morgan is such a delightful reverse trike.

It is good to hear that the paint on newer ones is probably better. Hopefully with this, the chassis and drive pulley etc changes they are now making the cars much better all round. It is certainly true that the second hand examples that I have seen were early cars and the new ones at the dealers looked beautiful.

It is good that ACF 50 is controlling any problems.

As somebody who believes it best to spot a problem early & deal with it I am inclined to think that I would protect the inside chassis tubes. The cracking front chassis issues might suggest that there might not be a lot of spare strength.
