Most of the modern trad owners I've come across don't seem too mechanically inclined, and do favour a relaxing lunch......
Of course there are different levels of DIY from a simple oil & filter change through transmission oil changes, then brake servicing and replacing dampers. Beyond that there's kinpin replacement, then the tricky stuff like radiator replacement, clutch replacement and engine/ gearbox/axle rebuilds. In fact most day to day work on the trads can still be done DIY, except for the ECU and dashboard panel. Not so for the Aero though by the sound of it.



One thing important BTW, you need space and time for DIY mad2
When you live in a big town, space is expensive and DIY is difficult to manage swear
And when you woirk a lot uyou prefer to spend time left driving instead of working on the Mog drive

Surely all Morgans -3 wheel and 4, new or old, trad or aero qualify as 'Classics' - I would say that 'Morgan' is the answer to the question "how would you define a classic car?" flag

I do agree that any Morgan is a Classic purely because the company has always been brave enough to look over the parapet and market something that looks and performs well, and is a major departure from the amorphous masses of Stuttgart ,Saarlois, Wolfsburg
and Zuffenhausen.
My preference is for the classic style as from an engineering perspective " it was handbuilt and thus lends itself to DIY".

Oh ruby you have lifted the lid !!! crazy2
