And, more than likely, a lot of hassle.

There was one stored beside my Morgan. Every time I saw the owner, he was either getting it transported to an independent specialist, or having one come to the storage, to fix the latest issue. None seemed to be easy to fix and none were in expensive. I don't think I saw it out being used once because every time he came to take it out, there was a new fault. There was another owner, in the same unit, but with a Mondial. The looks had really grown on me but the fact he'd spent nearly £20,000 in two years, and then sold it for £20k, having bought it for £30k three years previous was enough to remind me to steer clear. Neither of the cars mentioned were old nags - they both look the part and had lots of paperwork in their history files.

For me, of all of Alistair's links, the MST one seems to the most reliable and enjoyable option - perfect for small Devon roads and, from what I've heard, an absolute pleasure to drive. I know someone, who worked in the top position in the automotive manufacturing world, who has visited them a few times, and the feedback was that they are really building these cars to a high level, with a lot of care and attention to quality / usability.
