I must be a lucky blighter, I've had seven Morgan's over last forty eight years. I've used and abused them. but there has never been a day when I have failed to drive one home....I know I'm tempting fate by saying this. Mine have all had excellent reliability. PS all trads.
I suspect that for most people “reliability”’ isn’t the car breaking down but more issues regarding leaks, poor quality relays and seizing rear brake cylinders. It was the leaks that got to me in the end, I could accept drips from the hood but not the leaks under the dash onto the back of the instruments. That and the St Vitus Dance from the front end....at least the new car won’t suffer that!
