Plus if you compare those prices in 1971 to now they seems quite reasonable compared to now. Using a Ford Falcon as another car that was made back then and still was until recently in 1971 is was $2,200 – 3,410 for a 6 cylinder auto and in 2017 it was $25,630 – 31,680 for the similar based model car. I don't know what a Morgan cost in Australia in 1971 but based on exchange rate back of I think 1.78 makes a 4/4 2 seater $2,007 converted from 1128 pounds. I assume even with the high import duties of the 1970's maybe $4,000 so well less than twice a new falcon, compared to 3027 where you could buy 4 new falcons for a 4/4 Morgan.


Interesting observations on the dealerships and the car pricing comparisons.

I thought Murray's tale of the New Zealand dealer situation was a bit sad when there is a good market there, lets hope MMC don't regret that move.
Perhaps their thinking is that the new Aussie dealer will take care of the business.


Anything please to replace the incompetence of the Morgan dealer in Melbourne.....
