It's a strange one isn't it. If someone is buying a CX Morgan and they've had trad cars before they should probably expect all the normal idiosyncrasies that make a Morgan a Morgan.
I agree that at £80k+ you might expect a car to be watertight......but..... IT IS A MORGAN......with sidescreens....!
I don't think sidescreens, (or a Morgan) could ever be totally watertight. Nearly all other car manufacturers realised 60 years ago that sidescreens were rubbish and went to wind up windows.
If you put wind up windows on a trad lookalike CX it then takes one more step away from ye oldie worldie driving experience that Morgan owners 'say' they want.
I say, 'SAY' they want, because it's clear that what buyers perhaps actually want is a modern car.
By the time you've got an auto box, fancy hifi, footwell lights, heated seats, a/c and wind up windows etc etc you might as well get a normal car.....🤷🏻♂️
Perhaps it's more of a demonstration of the confused position MMC have put themselves in.
They want to make an up to date, relevant product, whilst at the sale time making a 1940's throwback.
They need to attract new clients but they need to retain the old client base.
Something has to give.
