They should not slaughter a real Alfa but get some fiberglass molds to build it - than it would be OK

I agree with you Heinz. To my eyes it loses so much of the elegance of the original.

I love the original as well.

I love this in the same way I love a SInger Porsche. It's an investment of work by someone with a goal.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Like Cobras .... I love love the classic AC shape of the 289 ..... but I'm also rather taken by the burly 'steroids' 427 ..... room for both in my book!! smile

I have a friend who owns an original and loves it. He has just spent quite a bit on a new fuel tank and having all the wheel arches rebuilt. They suffered from the same problem as the steel Morgans. The rolled edges of the wheel arches are left unprotected on the inside of the roll and are a trap for moisture and eventual corrosion.
