I think the CX has had an affect on some older Morgans, namely the Aeros. Before the CX launched you could get into an Aero Series 5 for 70-90 and I've been told that dealers couldn't give them away. Now an Aero Series 5 is over 6 figures which happened shortly after the launch of the CX.
Now, IMHO, I think we will have some interesting times ahead as emission standards are getting more stringent, fewer new ICE cars being released and the never ending supply chain issues will be keeping niche vehicles like a Morgan in a better position than other brands when it comes to second hand values.
I mentioned before that the current used CXs that are for sale have lost a significant amount of it's value when I compare that to what I recall second hand values of a lightly used Trad.
Time will tell... Interesting observation but not surprising......

Love the last line … “I’d rather be the guy that’s got a GTO, than the guy who’s sold a GTO” … we can all dream! DWi23 Just substitute the word Morgan for GTO...  I was dreaming of buying a Morgan for circa five years before I finally got round to it..

Luddite-great video. I really enjoyed it- especially when Nick called himself “ a sad old sausage”!
I haven’t thanked you before for the stream of interesting videos you put on this site. I am now. Thank you!!

Luddite - maybe I should have paraphrased it ... “I’d rather be the guy that’s got a MOG, than the guy who’s sold a MOG” ... but not sure it has quite the same ring to it!  ps. agree re the dream though, I was dreaming of it for 10+ years too (hence joining TM in 2010! but lurking ever since). But given I am 6'7", it was the discovery that the CX platform was 200ml longer in the cockpit that made it possible. Although still awaiting delivery, so yet to live the dream ... soon hopefully ...

David, I think you may not need one as Robbie from Eire is having some nice drip free runs out in the rain. I think he has done a little fettling but his is an earlier car and I believe MMC have carried out some improvement on this side of things. So the alligator can keep the water right side out

Is it just me or in the original post does the CX-T look severely bent? I wondered maybe if whilst craning it off the superyacht in some exotic location they had dropped it on a wharf bollard....
On an earlier post someone referred to all Morgans as pointless, I totally disagree - the Trads are still not bad handling sports cars with a vintage style if set up right ,whereas the CXT is proof that if something is possible to do doesnt mean you should , or that the result will be useful.
