I fully understand the opportunity and legacy of maintaining a family business having had several in the family.

I would suggest that in part the changing and more demanding legislative landscape in vehicle safety and emission standards may have played a major part causing the template to be abandoned and lead to Morgan having to withdraw from certain lucrative markets such as the USA. That programme of change from eg Euro1 from 1992 onwards must have pushed the development budget and resources and increased the component costs as more sophisticated engines etc. were required. Of course the introduction of the M3W must have added to the financial woes with its chassis problems.

What a great thing hindsight is. I must admit the CX is an exciting development that should have arrived much earlier.
