Owners of the Trad cars are all ageing, not to many younger people want to get the spanners out and do their own repairs or servicing, the average age Mog car club member must be mid sixties at least, MCC had no alternative but to build a new modern car and aim at a new younger affluent market, in past downturns the top end of car market suffered the least.
The CX is a quality product far better built and more useable than any Trad, we know the problems they have suffered but long term with Ali bodies and chassis, no replacement steel chassis rot of the Trads to worry about.
