I think Morgan as a manufacturer will always be between a rock and a hard place.

They seem as though they want to be a modern, progressive manufacturer but they're held back by history, tradition and fans of trad cars.

Modern car buyers are spoilt by luxuries such as water proof cars, consistent build quality, hard wearing materials, etc etc etc.

Buyers are seduced by thoughts of a bygone age, so are disappointed to find out that it's not what they thought it would be.

You buy a Morgan because you're a little bit odd/unconventional/peculiar.

By the way, I am a fan of history and tradition, my car doesn't need to be waterproof, I'm a fan of bygone ages and I'm odd, as, I imagine most regular contributors to this site are as well.

At the risk of thread drift (!) I quite like the clean look although it looks wrong. If that makes any sense.

Unfortunately, I was a bit short on time, otherwise I would have offered to take her out for a drive smile oldgit

Yes, you might be right! She even waved at me as I pulled off the forecourt. I think I'll keep this one to myself...

Always makes me smile when people talk about water ingress...on a car with no roof...or heater...that's a three wheeler, of course. Even a duffer like me recognises the superiority of a four wheeler owner..

No-one talks to a motorcyclist and says I wouldn't buy that model, you're always getting wet..
