This is one of the most revealing and reassuring posts I've read recently on so many levels. Its great to read that an early CX car is still being supported by the factory post expiry of the warranty period and the car delivers the driving experience all year round the owner is looking for and is not being too precious with it. Takes me back to my earlier days of Morgan ownership when many of the then older Morgan owners I met were all year round, come what may, Morgan drivers.

Back then it was a lengthy wait to get a new car and only a handful of used cars were for sale, maybe because of that they were owned by true enthusiasts. Today its too easy to buy a new Morgan, just walk into a showroom and point I'll take one or wait a few months to bespoke one, so more instant gratification and less pent up yearning for years for your car to be delivered. Maybe diluting the acquisition process and making them more readily available has changed over time the type of clientele base who can avail of the brand.

I know if I'd waited patiently for many years to take delivery of my car, I would be less inclined to sell it in a recession as I would face a massive wait to get another new one............
