There is another thing that needs to be considered here, for the LONG term ownership of these cars in the same way the Trad's are cherished.
As mentioned above there is an element of owning the parts process to protect the revenue for the lifetime of the car. However selection of easier to find parts will be far better for the long term availability of the cars.
Instead of unbranded parts from odd suppliers the choice of common suppliers would be far better. It would also raise the quality of the brand. Whilst all the normal ML's needed new parts the Brembo based AMG cars did not.
On the Series 2 the problems with the rear ABS sensors and rings were identified by my local BMW garage engineer. It meant that access to spares is easy in the future. Whilst I appreciate that the Plus range are a big price step up and so a risk for Morgan it feels like an imbalance.
Some of the issues we see with the Aero cars (window lifters, air con etc) are down to sourcing and will limit the cars long term future. Or maybe that is there goal, to stimulate new sales, that would be sad.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
