Tarka is a Plus 8, but an S4 Aero underneath. So electro-mechanically the same.

In 3.5 years it has been as reliable as any other car, almost. A couple of initial issues sorted by MMC, meaning trips back to the factory and a return home by train. Since then a couple of failed bulbs and one freak failure, the failure of a cap over a vacuum port in the engine, unused by Morgan but needed when in a BMW.

Dealer support has been good, but Williams are 60 miles away, whereas my Mercedes dealer is 3 miles away. So everything is slower and takes longer.

I had a 2nd generation SLK 300 Sport and I can say with absolute certainty that the Aero Chassis offers a better ride and far better handling. A Morgan also has the "wow" factor that no Mercedes, or other mass produced car, has. Finally, over a 4 year ownership, depreciation will be far less than on any mass produced car.
