Here, then, is the inevitable comment from one of the flat-capper-crowd.
To me, the car looks as if a modern, aggressive sports car—let’s say something like a TVR Sagaris—and a classic Morgan +4 had a baby, and this is the result. The basic shape of the body, which still follows the classic design ideals of the 1930s, clashes in my eyes with modern details like the big black front spoiler box, rear diffuser, black air vents, empty radiator grilles, and empty LED headlights.
A hardtop that will probably never be removed? When driving with the top down has always been at the heart of the Morgan concept?
Do I have to like it? No, I have a Morgan in my garage that I really love. And I couldn’t afford the new one anyway, but as a Morgan enthusiast of decades, I’ll take the liberty of shaking my head in bewilderment at the current developments.
I just come from the vintage cars and motorcycles scene, which might explain my purism. Someone who's been driving modern Porsches or cars like that sees such things differently. Different worlds.
The car certainly has fantastic performance figures and driving characteristics. And it’s certainly met with broad approval here. In that regard, I wish everyone who buys such a car much enjoyment with it.
