I don't blame MMC for milking the back catalogue - any company with a heritage from Rolex watches to Barbour jackets does the same, -I passed the new Alvis showrooms today, a new old Alvis -yours for £170k, suddenly the Mog looks good value. The important thing whether its Morgans [or even JE LRs]- is the person who writes the cheque happy? Anyone else is entitled to an opinion but not much besides
I would be disinclined to cite the 4.3 Alvis (or even the JE RR) if I was you Easter. The Alvis is a continuation car using a re-manufactured engine from original Factory drawings and to all intents and purposes seeks to fulfil the 77 unbuilt 4.3s the Alvis board intended to produce. It is a beautiful re-creation virtually indistinguishable from its pre-1939 siblings. It is a steal at £170k. A pastiche it is
not! If MMC produced a limited run of LawrenceTune rebuilt TR-engined +4s I would be first to congratulate them. There are plenty of TR engines and spares about. The Moss box would present a problem but a remote currently-available unit would not. Even superformed wings would be appropriate since Morgans never made their own wings anyway. Axle? BTR, Chris would have fitted one if he had been able to! Otherwise simple upgrades within the spirit of the real +4SS and current legislation. A steal at £50k. Better than a Harley-engined 3-wheeler any day!
To suggest Barbour are capitalising on their heritage is just silly. They make the wax jacket (alongside technical-fibre versions) simply because nothing performs as well. I fear anyone seen driving this rediculous machine will fall victim to hoots of derision from the
cognoscenti
