Now quite often one sees on the like of ebay usually half complete Morgan kit cars  . So my naive question is this. Why on earth would Morgan Motor Car Co (if in fact they do?)want to allow such poor pastiches of their marque to be so freely marketed?  There is probably a simple answer, so would some kind soul enlighten me please

You would be forgiven for thinking this is a genuine Morgan as the car bears many similarities to the genuine item except the price. And as such please return your guide dog to the training centre for further recognition training as even he should be able to tell this is a P.O.S!!!

I had to laugh when reading this  "You would be forgiven for thinking this is a genuine Morgan as the car bears many similarities to the genuine item except the price" In my opinion, you should be beaten for thinking this was a Morgan. ...what an ugly vehicle
