It is easy for us to agree why we like young trads and that the drivetrain does not define the "Morganness" of a Morgan. The question that we would need to ask ourselves is "how would you feel if the only morgan you could buy in your country was not called Morgan and was not sold through what used to be your dealer or importer" I think I would not be amused. It would help to know there was a very good reasons behind it and it made sense.
(which if the story is true I am sure it will in the end)
