"The model celebrates 80years of continuous production this year"
Can someone please explain this statement to me;
My understanding is that the 4/4 Series 1 finished production in 1951[?] following the introduction of the +4, the 4/4 Series 2 was introduced as a stable mate to the +4 in 1956[?].
Continuous production, my ****, next you'll be telling me that they don't have wooden chassis. Toyota claim the Corolla is the world's best selling car but there is nothing in common between a 1966 model and the present one. It's 80 years of the 4 wheeled / 4 cylinder Morgan. It is recognisably the same model now as when it was introduced, the changes in nomenclature during that time are irrelevant. However I'll admit that "80 years of continuous production" does somewhat overlook the period 1939 to 1946! ~iw

A large bag of old Mogs were at MOG 16 today. Some were shiny and some were well patinated.
