I agree, the quality is massively increased, it is night and day different to a trad car......is it better........🤷🏻♂️???
To be honest though they had a pretty low target to beat.....
It is, in itself, for a morgan, a really good car..... However.... compared to the competition it's very average at best.
The Morgan trad's quirky, leaky, rattly, low tech, impractical, outdated, vintage look, vintage feel, variable quality, readily personalizable nature is what make/made them such a special motoring experience. Unique in this day and age. A USP that kept the factory busy and sales brisk for decades.
I accept that the factory/Italians felt they needed to 'move on' and update but I still feel very strongly that they lost the 'special-ness'. MMC carried on stubbornly building a car that was decades out of date, bucking the trend of the rest of the world's motor manufacturers who rushed to modernise and embrace progress.
MMC.... stick to what you're good at, building relatively cheap, lightweight, low tech, fun cars.
Leave all the rest to the big boys.
