All the above 🙂 .....

**The following is entirely subjective and based on my own experiences and priorities.**

For me the Crossflow is an ideal engine for the Morgan ..... home brewed in Dagenham ... the 711m block versions are reliable and easily tuned with huge amounts of motorsport time ... simple, robust and appropriate.

The '70s cars had a basic and definitely 'vintage' feel ... rubber mats and leathercloth rather than Wilton and hand-stitched hide .... the engine complements this being at a fine crossover point of an 'old' feeling simple engine but reliable and fast enough not to have to fear modern traffic or steep hills. With spares and expertise readily available.

As what I seek is that hard to define 'vintage driving experience' with decent performance, then the only true pre-war cars that offer that are stratospheric money (there are financially accessible pre-war cars but you're talking 50 mph flat out with a following wind ... modern traffic contenders are in the Bentley, Bugatti etc class) .... so, for me and my not so deep pockets, a '70s crossflow engined Morgan presses all the buttons ... distinct and obvious '30s heritage and decent performance .... the miles I've managed to do in my recently finished resto have only served to confirm I made the right choice ..... For Me! *
