Performance cars are unusable in today's busy and camera clad main roads and too wide for quieter country lanes - the Morgan is ideal in this environment.
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. [...] 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?
I wholeheartedly agree with this.
With a Morgan you can 'pootle' along at 45mph and no-one will harass you.
Change that for a Porsche 911, as a friend has, and you just can't do that, especially on the public highways of the UK. A fast car does not do 'pootle'.
A Morgan for me was the ideal way into Britain's motoring heritage and class.
It has all the attributes of an iconic, British, hand-crafted, historic, classic and timeless car that's both affordable and so much fun to drive.
