Some of the materials and methods used in their construction is below average eg rear springs that sag in no time, PCB's that are very exposed to water damage, plastic radiators that crack, the list is pretty extensive for 4 wheelers , move across ti the 3 wheel variety and the list is enormous. That is not what I would consider a positive attribute of being hand crafted vehicle. Its penny pinching and under development at its worst.
But that's not the sole reserve of Morgan, other manufacturers get it wrong and hence vehicle recalls seem to have increased more in recent times. What is more worrying is the level on ongoing factory support with spares especially as we are seeing more annual changes to the specifications, which will led to more short runs of eg trim, etc. which may effect ownership of certain models more difficult going forward eg Aero, there seem to be quite a few for sale a the moment.
The styling of a Morgan still holds up amazingly well and without question it sets it apart from the main stream of the more prestigious brands. I love the cars just dislike the levels of maintenance required especially as I grow older and find garage floors easier to get down to than get up from..
