Ian. Given the cost of what is a new car chasis mechanicals etc I think its very fair to compare with what's on the market, from day one people have mentioned the seat issue an easy fix for Morgan. The brake noise is probably a pad. Morgan have upped their game as far as the product is concerned and prices I hope the owners of these new cars are not so accepting of these issues as owners of new cars have been in the past myself included. Great looking car Ian enjoy....Em
