We are all entitled to our own opinions for sure and as far as the MMC goes, for me it represents jobs which is by far the most important part of the equation today. I have oft times read of folk identifying themselves as the faithful relative to their Morgan beliefs, whereas I feel no need of any such connection.
I approached Morgan with a vintage perspective as a manufacturer who soldiered on with a quirky product that fitted well with my ideals of the time, I had no expectation of high quality engineering, being far more attracted to the coach-built aspects of assembly, all be it with somewhat basic power units and transmission of the day... Thus for me a Morgan did indeed provide aspects of vintage motoring, but without the costs so related, and with the advantages of modern engines and drive trains in terms of ability to keep up with modern traffic and simplified serviceability, that same formula still works for me today, though far more my ageing process than that of my Morgan, has determined It does not fit as many of my real world requirements of it, as once it did...
There are still many aspects of driving a Morgan that are very special and unlikely to be replicated when driving a more modern sports car, thinking the smile generation capability a Morgan creates on the faces of so many of the general public, along with the occasional thumbs up, which has a far higher desirability than the grimaces and envy that driving a red 911 had on a percentage of the public in my part of the world back in the 80`s... Best engineered cars in the world I doubt Morgans ever will be, but they still have their advantages for sure, and long may that continue to be the case.
