I don't think you can comment/argue - until you have driven the engine/auto set up in the car?
I have driven the BMW 140 - a few times and it is a spectacular piece of engineering.....as the Morgan has a lighter kerb weight, the changes through the gears will be even more impressive...
I think we need to be mindful - that Morgan HAVE chosen such a great set-up.....and the reviews have been so positive?
