"If you apply a modicum of care and attention to some detailed areas where a degree of extra care might pay dividends, then perhaps you too can avoid the sort of issues that can frustrate with the passage of time..?"

It really is simply this. Those who expect Morgan ownership to be a pipe and slippers experience will usually be disappointed. What may be perceived as a weakness is in reality a strength. The ability to fettle and improve doesn't exist on mainstream cars.

Yeah, for the price you might expect perfection, but perfection only comes with fettling. And to buy a Trad and then complain about the fundamentals of Trad Morgans points towards a lack of research.

The funny thing is, after reading so many road tests in publications such as Motor, and Autocar, when they existed as competitors, I was blown away by how much better my first Morgan was, than I expected.
