Who remembers the saga of the early M3W cars and a particular buyer who made consistent and detailed posts in TM re his safety concerns on bump steer and other design problems etc..?
In my opinion the M3W has been a success for Morgan commercially DESPITE a clear lack of development pre sale. Either a basic lack of the development process or a rush to launch resulting in reduced development. Considering the actual upgrades ( at a puzzling mix of customer cost or MMC cost (why?)) that took place, many clearly safety based, MMC has not covered itself in glory.
We, as Morgan fans, are often our own worst enemies and accept the “they all do that, sir” attitude.
Personally, I love my car but do get frustrated and amazed at what I consider lack of thought/poor design/penny pinching evident when getting down and dirty maintaining the car. Is there a mentallity of “we have always done it like that so why change”?
Ah well.....off to the garage to look at the car and smile...
