As a morgan driver we are all used to fielding questions about the cars , and i am sure we all have our favorite. I now have mine . I was parked beside the outdoor patio of a nice bistro restaurant and enjoyed my meal and a beer while the Morgan was in view , many folk paused to read the emblem and point out features to one another but it was when i was sat in the car ready to leave ,a lady approached , "nice car ,what year is it" she asked ,i smiled and said "thank you its a 96" . She then turned towards her husband on the patio and said for all to hear . " its an eighteen ninety six" Wow ! I smiled all the way home

Ha! At least it is not a frustrating as: "What year is it?" "2012" "Oh, it is a replica then!" "No. The company has never stopped making them. Morgan is still owned by the Morgan family and has been making cars for over 100 years now. This car is in a similar style to the car they made in the 50's but has all modern engine and mechanical parts." As he walks away I hear the know-it-all tell his wife "It's a replica!"

Someone said to me at the weekend that it's not surprising they've had some cracked chassis as they are made of wood .......
Like M3Boy I just usually give up !!

"i admire you for using your Morgan - It can't be easy driving something that unreliable"
From a gentleman on the forecourt of Texaco services, Sandbanks Road, Poole. Perhaps he was a past owner?

A good response I heard from a fellow Mog owner; when asked the question "How old is it?" He answered "Not quite as old as I am"
