Dont know about the Morgan bit but I am coming round to Neilda's point of view despite living close to the Brecon beacons and Top Gear test drive country.

Modern perfomance cars have so much power ( they start at double what the E type ever had) and are so ballistically fast that they are unuseable on public roads. Or at least owning one can be likened to buying pints of beer and only ever drinking the top half of the glass. And they are so technically complicated that maintenance has to be a specialist job and a likely nightmare as they get older. So I am gradually coming round to the idea of a less powerful car and one from an older generation that has no or very limited electronics.

When all you can realistically do on the roads is to pootle along, you need a pootle car. Is that a Morgan?
