Sounds like the factory did not set up the test car's brakes accurately.

In parts ouch! It is the trouble that when you get to those sorts of prices that people are less indulgent of "foibles" and comparisons are bound to be drawn with 911's and the like. Despite the criticisms I know which I'd prefer.

As with all Morgans, you probably get it or you don't.

Interesting report. I liked the fact the 3 wheeler is shown as the best sports car on the sidebar.

Hi, What a car.I had a drive at the Gaydon meeting,but beware the top of the gear knob is about 1/2 inch below dash if you happen to change gear with your thumb on top or your hand as a claw it will get stuck!!
Also the demostrater at Newton Garage had a flat battery!! They said it arrived with a flat battery.
Still a graet drive.

Morgans are not perfect - the fun is making them perfect in the eyes of the owner.....
