Yes it gets lots of looks. Of course to the causal observer they think it's a Morgan or that it's something obscure and 'old'. One factor that I think affects any comparison is that the Pembleton is smaller in every respect and that includes width and track. I remember to begin with I found the front track on the M3W very wide and hard to place on narrow roads. Thats not the case with this but I also go into tight corners much slower. The sound accelerating out of the bend is really nice and 'rorty' but doesn't have the thump and shake of the S&S. You can talk to a passenger without shouting and the lack of whining and screaming for me is the big winner and it was this in the end, that was the final nail for my Morgan which I just could no longer forgive.
I am trying the latest spec set up in a couple of weeks so it will be interesting to see if the firmer springs in the latest PBT used give more confidence without denting the spectacular ride. One other thing I love about the PBT is dashboard gear lever based on the 2CV but re-engineered to be really smooth and fast and of course right to hand.
