You're saying the MX-5 is the future?

Must also admit - we kept out fourth MOG as the MX5 is met with greets of - "Yes but it's not a Morgan!".

Must say - having had the 2.0 litre MX5 for a few months - would not go back to a MOG at twice the price! A Mog is twice the price isn't it? This really revolves around the question of what an owner wants from their car. Personally, I do not want my toy to be a smaller edition of my day to day cars, it needs to not only look different on the road, but drive differently and more important - just be different. I'm guessing that is why many others have ended up with Morgans, even though they are expensive to buy, awful to drive and generally a throwback from another era.

When I get old I might consider an MX5.
But I might also consider an MGBV8.......

I have the best of both worlds then, no intention of getting rid of the 4/4 or the MX5. I also meet DaveW's age criteria.......

But I might also consider an MGBV8....... Our local garage, whom I trust, is selling an MGB V8 Roadster which he almost nut and bolt restored. Proper V8 with proper air intake and carburation.
