My humble 2 cents. Spencer, you made a very nice video with and for MMC. It had something unifying - for all Morgan models past and present, and for all Morgan drivers past and present. It wasn't an elevation of the CX model over a Trad, no difference between 1950 and 2024, it was the core values of the Morgan experience that I also experience in my 4/4 in the same way when I drive past farms in the Eifel or lavender fields in the south of France. Morgan wanted to bridge the gap and present the new CX models as authentic Morgan in a timeline that gives us stories, experiences, heritage and tradition in the best sense of the word, and as a Morgan has always been able to do. This was very well done, and you as a relatively young driver in the middle of life was very believable and rejuvenating for the brand's target audience.
Your enthusiasm for the new model, which you express here in a post, with the trunk is very infectious and palpable in the same way. The only thing I feel is perhaps a little unfortunate is that you single out the future model in a polarizing comparison to all previous models. I'm not sure if you mean the CX models as well when you say they are held together by chewing gum and good prayers. But that's not so important. It's a bit at odds with the idea that it's the stories that will stay. It's nice if each new future model can be seen as a continuity of the core values and doesn't have to gloss over in polarization to all previous Morgan models. I don't think you win new customers by saying, “Hey sorry, we're doing everything differently from now on, forget yesterday's BS”. But I think you were just very impressed and enthusiastic about the innovative appearance of the new model and you were lost for better words. No offense intended.
Hi Heinz, I share your thoughts. But where can I find the video in which Spencer says the things about the chewing gum, etc. I've seen and heard his first vid, heard t over again and it's not in there. There were vids with CX Morgans through Yorkshire, I cannot remember hearing those things. The last things I can remember he said was that his Nitron-upgraded PlusFour was a nicer Morgan than the PlusSix he used as a loaner. And recently, suddenly he is selling it because there is another, I think Morgan, on the way? So what is going on? Anybody knows?
No objection if Spencer answers this if he reads is, it is not meant as on offense. But where is the logic in all these things. It leaves me puzzled.
I always say, if somebody doesn't understand how things go, think about money - sex - power. But that doesn't help me now. Money?
