Did he say that? Well, I always admire optimists.

As for your previous post, I agree that getting young people with sufficient cash to consider a Morgan trad is a very hard sell. Most of the things that will turn them off - low grip, no power assistance for anything, no ABS, no ESP/ESC/DSC, etc, etc, - are precisely the things that attract me and others.

Re the Lotus M100, it was designed and engineered by John Miles and others for young drivers brought up on front-wheel drive. At the time of its launch, I was a middle-aged driver prejudiced to some extent against front-wheel drive (just as John Miles had been). I thought it was brilliant, especially on wet roads, and was sad that it failed.
