Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Trad prices ..versus owners dreams..

One of the positives (all other things being equal) in the favour of the trads, is they are no longer being built it is now a given finite number of trads in existence which can only go down over time, which should have helped their prices. Unfortunately it looks like the size of prospective buyers in the trad market place, seems to be pretty loaded towards those of a retirement age, appears to be shrinking and its not attracting new followers to that specific market.

Secondly there is far greater visibility and marketing of the CX Morgans by comparison and CX specification and build quality are far higher and the cars are less maintenance intensive as the trad. If you are new to the marque and eg you have a choice of going on holiday with or without a grease gun, ie trad or CX, which you will have to use at some point in a trad, I know which option would I take!

I also think we are seeing a traditional downwards spiral in a recession be it cars or watches as people liquidate to raise cash. High interest rates must be biting, and credit is no longer cheap.
