I hope it is ok to chime in even though I am Mog-less

I was invited to the preview events at the factory and was keen to go but upon asking the price, which at the time I was told 'north of £100k, I couldn't stomach it if I'm honest. While I wasn't given a lot of details, I was told it would have a boot, next level of comfort, sleeker design and as mentioned in many of the press video's, a competitor to the fabled 911.

The timing was ironic as I was in the final stages of deciding if I was going to pull the trigger on a new Porsche 718 or go with a slightly used 911. The idea of ordering a 911 was tempting and something I was contemplating. You could say I would be the demographic of the Super Sports.

For the design itself, I absolutely love everything about it and the subtle detail changes to the interior. It's not a massive leap from the Plus Four/Six but lovely changes nonetheless. I especially love the veneer panels on the doors.

Having pulled the trigger on a new Porsche 718, I did find myself wondering if I should have gone to the preview event and would I be regretting not leaving the door open for a new Morgan instead. It goes without saying that my love for the brand, its history and all that goes with it is there is spades, so it was with trepidation when I decided to watch the unveiling. The min I saw it I fell in love and a wee bit of regret set in.

However, after playing on the configurator and thinking it through, I climbed down from the nostalgia of my former Morgan and came back to my senses. For me it fully came down to the price. Spec'd to how I'd want it puts me well into a brand new 911 T cabriolet, which has a proper manual and respectfully, I seriously can't see how the SS would even compare. Had this been closer to a 718 S/GTS price point, perhaps. I suspect this will cater to someone who has a collection of cars or a true dyed in the wool Morgan fanatic. I am certain they will sell well and a fantastic step forward for MMC in opening the doors to a wider fan base.

A massive congratulations to MMC and to those who have ordered on who will in turn make my day a better one should I see one on the road.
