Peter - The comfort isn't the problem. We have found the seats very comfortable for a long trip and have driven Portsmouth to Ayrshire in a day several times without any aches and pains. I tend to vary the backrest angle depending on how many layers I am wearing and find the spring loading of the recline lever needlessly excessive which, coupled with the location of the lever, makes backrest adjustment a real pain literally. When scores of manufacturers can provide a simple, easy to operate reclining mechanism I just can't understand why after 110 years Morgan can't do the same. Surely it would only require a change in the specification for the strength of the return spring, but then Morgan probably have enough springs in stock to last the next 110 years!
