Re Howard above:
Given the design of the trad Morgan, it is never going to match the modern car for DESIGN sophistication, but it could still be manufactured in the best quality way for the given design. By that I mean accurately made components, pre-drilled holes in the right place, fully jigged, everything right first time, so that it is built by assemblers and not fitters. This ‘hand-crafted’ business is an excuse for not engineering the job properly. On my factory visit, I actually saw someone using a plane! I also saw another chap fitting the bonnets by trial and error. Far from being more expensive than a £50k ford, it could certainly be cheaper (I imagine the original development costs have been written off by now). The engineering craftsmanship should be applied to improving the processes, not to making the cars.
Well, that’s what I think, anyway.
