Being a Trad kinda guy with selective Luddite tendencies, I feel forced to ask, is the seal to keep water out... or in...???

Sorry Dave, I could not help it, nice job though, congrats.
As for the expectations of Morgan buyers relative to the cost of a Morgan compared to that which ever increasing legislation along with robotics bought to the automotive construction industry, I am amazed that Morgan still exist at all...
I suspect since JHJ visited and provided the MMC with a bit of wake up call, Morgan`s production methods have...err...evolved somewhat, but still nothing like any other "volume" car manufacturer I can think of... I suspect if one`s expectations of quality might be related to that of one of today`s a mid range mundanemobiles, then I also suspect one risks some degree of disappointment in time given the complexities of all ICE cars produced in the last 20 years and more .... ?
I suspect many of today`s Morganeers thinking on cost benefit analysis may also have evolved from the purchase decisions of those from the past, many if not the majority, who may have been no strangers to getting down and dirty with their hand built Morgan, much as I WAS back then.? Today in my seventies, I am not so keen on rolling around the garage floor, and even less so the idea of paying someone to perform a task to a lesser degree than I once managed myself....
It seems there may be potential mix of good and not so good in the process of evolution....?
