Well I think the car in the link would indeed be a wonderful car to drive on a Sunday morning. However I suspect it could not have matched my old Morgan`s ability to be enjoyed while touring Southern Europe all those years back when the weather turned to cold and very wet....? Morgan`s weather gear might not be the easiest/quickest to put in place but it does the job in a way that may not be available in such wonderful vintage race car shape, which if it has any weather gear available is likely to spoil the whole concept... I guess you just have to tough it out, much as those who take on long trips in REAL Vintage cars do...? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcCW8dka47M

Great that they are making this type of car. Might not be a tourer, more a Sunday at the pub car and going to the Races. I'm hoping that Morgan start to sell the new CX chassis to a new breed of coachbuilders who have vision and the craft to create some beautiful cars, like this Kougar and perhaps a coupe in the style of the early 50's AC, Alfa and Ferraris - many others too.

There are a few kit companies who do some good retro kits. There is a Ronart in the area near me. http://www.ronart.co.uk/

Saw a Kouger Jaguar parked at Competa, Spain (George will know where that is). Very pretty car and much smaller than thought it would be, subjectively about the same size as a Mog .

I've owned three Kougars and would have another at the drop of a hat. They're built on a proper tubular spaceframe chassis which is massively strong. Jaguar independent suspension all round. No scuttle shake, impressive ride quality and excellent handling are the result. They're usually fitted with a windscreen and weather equipment, unlike the example in the video. They were originally designed by Crosswaite and Gardiner, a company with credentials. The one in the video is for sale at £40k. It was sold by the owner for £25k a few months ago. A couple of pictures of my last car. Not the standard windscreen and it has quite a few other mods. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/qrJNsF0/P1000249-1500x1095.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/mzyKf4X/P1000251-2000x1264.jpg)
