On Saturday I was parked in my Roadster outside Chesham tube station waiting for my wife to do some shopping.
The station master was attracted to my Trad and came over for a pleasant chat about it. He asked me how old it was. I explained it was only two years old. Predictably, he said - "oh, is it one of those kit car reproductions then"? No, I explained, Morgan have been making basically the same car since 1936 but obviously updated with modern power but still using traditional coach building methods in the same style. He looked a little dubious. I don't think he believed me.
I have had this response many times before. I wondered what tactics others use to explain just what a Morgan is. The fact that someone thought my car some kind of Panther Kallista left me feeling pretty desperate.
