Robbie,
I’m sorry if you feel criticised. I don't even know you, why should I criticise you. Maybe that's because of my poor English skills but that was absolutely not my point.
Morgan has a unique position in the market, it’s the last true roadster that is available.
There are convertibles by the bucket load, there is no need for another one.
I fear that, with ever increasing expectations, Morgans could loose what makes them unique in the first place. And that is not the quality of the hood.
Morgan has a proven track record of over 7 decades of leaking roofs. This has never been high on their priority list. Every potential buyer should be aware of that before he/she makes his/her choice.
Sure there are improvements possible but you can see by the discussions about the shoulder room with the newer hood that you always pay the price, each advantage carries its disadvantage with it. Even if that is only the size of the folded roof. Have a look at the roofs of the Aero's I to V.
And we all have our normal cars, even watertight tin tops, already at home.
Let’s keep Morgan unique by giving them some room for imperfections and clear priorities on pure open top fun. By average expectations and as a car, Morgans have been horrible for most of their being. That is why they survived. Lets celebrate that.
But just to be clear, I fully respect every other opinion on that, just my thoughts.
Regards,
Markus
I really dont know how you can claim "poor English skills" after writing that post. Far more lucid and clear than many British people could write. Admirable.
