Had a first gen M3W...loved it, sold it for about $6k less than I bought it for after owning it for three years. Loved every minute of ownership and missed the car the moment I sold it. Yes both exhausts cracked on mine, but my bevel box was very quiet, and roads in Texas are pretty good, so bump steer wasn't an issue for me.
Replaced it with an Austin Healey 100-4. Loved that too - but it was a VERY well restored car, and that led me to not really drive it as much as I did the Morgan...sold that too after 3 years. I won't do that again, it's only condition 2 classic cars for me from now on!
Replaced the Healey with a slightly tatty Alfa Romeo Spider with the Spicas removed and converted to Webers. Spent around $16k getting it running right and improving the cosmetics...I'm very underwater on the Alfa - I just gave it to my brother!
Sooooo...we've come full circle. I very much like the new Super 3, agree that adding the central fog lights improves the look tremendously. I'm eagerly awaiting a first drive and impressions here on TM. Suspect that a lot of lessons learned from the M3W will be applied to the Super 3. My only quibbles are that the small windscreens look kinda cheap on the Super 3 - would have preferred a slightly updated Brooklands look. Clearly the key to ordering one of these is to lay off the options list, those suitcases and bags add up WAY too quickly..
I'm VERY seriously considering jumping in again...just waiting the read some driving impressions.
Cheers!
