I often think that Morgan need to attract new buyers from the next generation, the sort of guy or girl that would spend £20k or so on a new MX5 or a Toyota GT28, and we have seen the sad but dismal failure of the 4/4 speedster, and at £30k it was never going to attract the younger generation in any numbers anyway.
I think Morgan would like some of our ideas, even though we absolutely know they would never acknowledge them.
What can we come up with that would be realistic?

MMC should offer a rather cheap but reliable 3Wheeler. Could be the perfect entry to the Morgan world.
It worked for me (but was not cheap nor reliable).

This is the 4/4 Speedster with the single Brooklands screen they have had to withdraw it from sale as it has an illegality involving the windscreen or lack of it. Type approval was with windscreen I imagine.
A great shame one guy on here had his heart set on it a fine looking car.

With due respect Max, you are one of the only 'youngsters' on here, great as that is. What Morgan have to compete on is price, how much is an MX5? £20k? Says it all, why should someone with a big mortgage, kids, etc spend another £10k for less?
Thanks for clarifying the 'dismal failure' comment of mine Richard. The Speedster was a brave attempt, but I think some new thinking is required.
