Other synthetic materials are available.

As Morgan seem reluctant to change the fundamental design of the front suspension they could at least better engineer it to increase longevity and reduce maintenance.


Yes - Quite agree.
Solving this weak and sticky point would see the trad owner seeking to upgrade. Instead of which MMC dabble into marketing trinkets, bells and baubles. Expensive designer watches is not what a heritage motor company should be engaged in.
