You ended up driving it in full auto mode because there were too many gears ( at some speeds you had a choice of 4 gears )


I think this is exactly what Elliott was getting at. You can absolutely drive these cars at their maximum potential up to the speed limits on the road you are on. If I'd spent £xxx on a manual Morgan Pus Six or any other supercar for that matter, and somebody blew me away in an auto version of the same car I'd be pretty p****d off no matter how much fun I was having pushing the clutch and changing gear.
