As I was pootling along the backroads today I got to thinking quite why I was attracted to the Plus 8 46 years ago and why that hasn't changed, it makes me smile like no other car.
I wonder what attracted you to your particular model or the breed in general ?
My 1st reason was the performance.
My 2nd reason the sound.

My 1st reason was "back to basics"
My 2nd reason was the nescience of Morgan's quality standards

Style instead of fashion.
Performance, unexpected.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Her simplicity delivers the best driving experience. I feel under way more than with any other car. And I like her shape so much. BTW all Mog types with different engines have a special sound. May be the wood and aluminum lets her sound so different, open and sonor, even the small four pot ones.

I was all set to build an Aero SuperSports or a Triking, I was puzzling out insurance and importation, and my wife said, just buy a Morgan!
