Lets not forget that with some ( Ok quite a few) tweaks, a Morgan 4/4 canbe made into a Caterham tyre car with the responsiveness etc.
Not from the factory I accept, but I had a ride in a 4/4 last year that handled every bit as sharply as a similar engine Caterham. That was the café Racer of Cain @ Wolf Performance.
I prefer the Morgan hands down to the Westfield/Caterham but accept they serve up pure driving fun for a lot less cash.
So that's the point really - a Morgan is fun at all speeds and is great to amble along in as it is to have a spirited drive.
But then we get into the realms of image and the like. Picture the stereotypical Morgan driver and compare that to your idea of a Caterham driver. Very different people? I think so.
Put another way - I had a Westfield owner in for an MOT yesterday and we were discussing this very point - comparing Lotus 7 type cars to Morgans.
He said Morgans were for "well-healed old duffers who couldn't drive properly and no longer made love to their wives or girlfriends!"
At which point I explained I owned a Morgan, was not well off, and not that old either at 50. I have to concede that I can no longer make love and drive properly at the same time anymore...……
He passed the MOT as well.
