I've seen this sentiment regularly repeated ever since I have been a Morgan owner (22 years) and doubtless it's been said for longer than that. Peter Morgan openly said that he sold cars as a starting point for the owner to improve: the thing about Morgans is that we buy them because we love them, not because they are actually any good
It's dead easy to buy a good-looking sports convertible that is cheaper, better built, better equipped, faster, more reliable, handles better, and is more comfortable for long distances and I would always recommend that purchasers look elsewhere if they expect any of these things from a Morgan. That's not what they are about.
i'd agree with Phil. If you can't accept the car as it is, reject it, but I'd also counsel that you look elsewhere if you expect a fault-free car. You simply won't get such a thing from a Morgan.
I think that was a fair assessment until a few years ago. Morgans were relatively simple cars, reasonably affordable and most faults could be fixed by enthusiastic owners or knowledgeable dealers with the support of the factory which included a good spares back-up.
None of the above are applicable to the current generation of Morgans. The product is now too complex for the average owner to "improve" and the after-sales support doesn't appear to be fit for purpose.
Morgan need to up their game considerably in line with the increasing cost and complexity of their product and the reasonable expectations of those who buy them.
