Despite the “fun” in speccing a new car from scratch, it is sadly a risky business with Morgan. You can easily end up with a lemon where the doors don’t seal properly, the hood doesn’t fit,....won't take up space with the rest of the common foibles, but you are all aware from the many posts on TM.
If I were after a CX I would be looking at a ready built one or used from a dealer and add the extras myself to personalise. At least then you have a chance to get a close look before parting with the hard-earned. You can fix leaky rads and squeaky brakes but it’s a tough job when things don’t actually fit in the first place!
I am amazed at the patience of Morgan customers...many other new cars at that price, exhibiting similar faults, would probably be rejected under the sale of goods act, without further ado. However, despite improved performance with modern engines etc. I am convinced that the prime reason for holding on in there, is that classic shape. See what happened when the 4 plus 4 was introduced...it was still a hand built Morgan, with all the familiar underpinnings but flopped, simply because it was the wrong shape!
For now and the foreseeable, I shall be holding on to the devil I know. Love it!
