So am I to infer that imperfection is synonymous with character? It's a strange state of affairs when imperfection is considered desirable.
To my mind, 'character' just means a set of features about the way a car performs that differentiates it from other cars. Some cars (Land Rovers, old Minis, Morgans) have characteristics which are unique, others don't. Often these characteristics are formed from aspects which are not 'perfect'.
Imperfection is only desirable if you desire it. Morgans are imperfect, therefore if you desire imperfection then a Morgan is a good bet. If, on the other hand, one is seeking a perfect car, then one probably shouldn't start with a Morgan.
It's entirely possible however to buy a car which is pretty much perfect. What's more, you can buy perfect cars suited to pretty much any application you care to mention, and they can be had for a great deal less money than any Morgan. These are the cars that sensible people purchase, and they have great fun with them.
Many cars are not only perfect, they are also capable of performance levels which any normal human being is completely incapable of exploiting on public roads.
Frequently this excess performance is accompanied by a symbol on the bonnet, the shape and colouring of which serves to differentiate the cars from others which would be pretty much indistinguishable but for the presence of a different symbol. These cars cost more.
To my mind it's a strange state of affairs when unusable performance and the symbol on the bonnet are considered desirable and command a premium!
