Button, you make a very valid point: we may change components and clearly the make the car different...but better?
All cars are a compromise and a change that I think is wonderful may be heartily disliked by someone else.
I did quite a lot to Aldermog, but I've changed virtually nothing with Tarka. Why? Because MMC got the car "more right", if I can say that...at least for me. A Sports car it is not, a grand touring roadster it is.
The cr has to connect with the driver: I love my little BMW M140i. Caroline hates it, she loves her AMG C43 Coupe. Two very different cars, both great fun when used to their advantage.
So it is with a Morgan. Define what you want to achieve, then look at a lot of cars and make a decision. My pal Ian doesn't want a "finished" car, but one that he can take and evolve into something that makes him smile. It will be a fun journey to share with him.

I get a kick out of the word "Tourer". No matter where I go it is at least 2 days and 2,000 miles. No matter what Morgan I drive I am in it for a long ride. Fortunately I am retired and no longer have an appointment book. Also the Lady I travel with owns a Morgan and has traveled long distances longer than I have. She like the +4 or the DHC. My +8 Bitsa makes Her nervous, I think. Maybe it is how I drive it. I like to exercise the V8.
