A fair point. Some of the 'modern' bits eg injection not carbs are dictaed to a large extnet by the fact that proprietary parts are used ( although I have seeen a Duratec converted to run on Webers) and other changes such as gearboxes ( 'The passing of the MossBox' diffs and rer axles have aklso been driven by issues of availability and perceiuved improvement.
Again, I don't think that is new in the case of Morgan. It'spossible to find loads of people posing the same question as you pose throughout the last goodness' know how many years.
To take a single example: the evolution of the climax/ standard/ Triumph engined cars
My own view ( for what it's worth)is that the modern trads ( if that makes sense?) do still retain and preserve the character they've always had. OK, you don't get that amazing Plus8 Vee8 rumble with the Ford engine in the Roadster, but there are opther things which it gives that the 'eight' didn't
