...the word that gets bandied around, which the Morgan has and most mainstream 911s/Caymans/Boxsters are missing, is soul. A difficult word to define but I believe it boils down to: sense of occasion, the feeling of owning something unique, the hand crafted nature of the product, a modicum of eccentricity and a wonderful driving experience which isn't perfect but is more thrilling than any modern safety-net enabled car; all of these things are very Morgan qualities.
Spot on!
So much so, that after last week's LeJog in my '76 4/4 I'm seriously considering selling Piggy

It still surprises me the effect a Mog has on the 'general public' e.g. driving through part of the Lake District, surrounded by beautiful scenery, and all cameras seemed to point at RTA... Bonkers? Probably!
If I do need to find another small car I'll look for a small coupe (where rear seat access is difficult - stops

wanting to carry grandchildren

).
Bizfish, if you end up going down the used route, get a good look at as many cars as you can - one will choose you

Cheers,
