I recently watched a programme (POSH PAWN).... as described its equity rich, cash poor people cashing in their wares, a Guy was cashing in his Ferrari and explaining how after a life long ambition to own one he was disheartened to find people actually Spat at his car when passing.  That is terrible but unfortunately, in the UK at least, there is a rather nasty jealously over wealth, particularly after the banking crisis but it has always been there. with some people In the UK there is a presumption that wealth is inherited or ill gotten as a vestige from our class society I think it is a blessing that most people, even if they know its a Morgan (whether an trad or an Aero), have no real idea how much they cost or their value.

I have done this a few times too - not with a camera - but just retiring a 100m away, sitting and watching people looking at just WTF it is.

Very heartening to see, and what interest and enthusiasm for the humble Mog. I must get mine out more and get some of that worship. Then again it's raining and my nearest city is Belfast, I'll just look at my new miscellany callender instead.

I got used to situations like that when parking my Three-wheeler in Viennaīs city center. The Moggy collects a crowd while Porsche, Ferrari and others get pretty much ignored...
Thatīs the nice compensation for all the technical shortcomings of the Morgan.
