The C4S was brand new at the time, but was about 20 years ago. It did everything perfectly, and as you said lacked that little 'frission' of unpredicability (and I took it over some fairly challenging roads - Tregaron to Rhayader via Cwmystwyth, down to Beulah and then back across the Abergwesyn Rd).

In fairness, my mate found it a little boring too, and soon chopped it in for a GT3RS which was a little more exciting.

My partners electric VW Golf has blistering acceleration, but is completely dull and boring in every other aspect, even when I spend the first 5 minutes turning off all the 'driver aids'. However, every drive in the Morgan and MG starts and ends in a grin, and often an occasional bum clench
