For sure the kit cars are another era and they only build a complete car today which is different in so many ways. I can only say that as a past owner of an M3W and a current owner Pembleton VSport (no 2), there is no contest in design, build and engineering. But I guess Pembleton have had much longer to perfect their car before starting production as a series. The M3W strikes me as having so may compromises to just get something on the road. Heavy engine, a mainstream car gear box, screaming bevel box, whining toothed pulley and a rear sprocket that lasts so few miles (at least mine did) not to mention the cracked chassis and an inability to close the footwell which most car manufacturers since 1910 have been able to do. If you start with the idea of a fun to drive lightweight three wheeler and a clean sheet you wouldn't design an M3W. The VSport is continually improved and I will get my new one in February and it has none of the myriad issues that Morgan owners resign themselves to for a few years before they bail out. Sad to say.
Well cubemark, I think you may be another name off the Morgan Christmas card list......
