SWMBO has an MX5 2 litre Tech Sport with the folding hardtop. Sorry to offend the purists, but it does everything at least twice as well as the Morgan and costs half the price!
A Casio G-Shock tells the time more accurately than my Swiss mechanical watch; however, that is only part of the story.
I'm certainly not a purist, nor offended by your comments; however, I think a new owner of a Morgan would have to be extremely ill informed to go into first time ownership expecting it to be cheaper to run than a mass produced car.
As for doing "everything twice as well", I'm not sure what you are referring to? Handles twice as well? Is twice as fast? Is twice as reliable? Gets twice the attention? Gives twice the pleasure when being driven? I'd be interest to hear.
My 997 Turbo was faster than my Aero and certainly more sure footed. Quality of the product was certainly superior; however, none of those things made it twice the car or make me feel it did everything the Morgan did twice as well.
