I agree with the analysis and comments.
For me the Morgan, be it a 4/4 or a Plus 8 provides that essential "difference", though I also agree with Mark in that the Atom and its rivals also offer something very special.
I read various classic car mags, including Octaine, and whilst there are some nice objects of desire they are what they were as a 1964 Lotus Cortina road test made very clear indeed.
Perhaps one of the new body re-engineered MGB GTs, but they make a Super Sport look cheap....
So for now, I cannot see anything that I'd rather have than Tarka.
Or if I win the lottery a new build Tarka 2!
