For those of you thinking the car isn't landing well and won't sell, worth having a read through the comments on The Late Break Show's excellent video with Jon wells and the new car:

The BMW shifter is a selling point for you? Riiiight.

DalesPlusFour .... I have a 50 year old crossflow engined 4/4 ... my requirements for the car are specifically to be able to enjoy a genuinely pre-war driving experience in a car that doesn't cost as much as a house with an engine that just tips into the 'reliable and trouble-free' bracket age-wise, but retains all the 'tinkerability' of my earlier driving daysl ... the Morgan is the only car that ticks those boxes ... I don't want a modern car (and definitely don't want the snake's nest of pipes and sensors obscuring the motor in the modern takes of the marque. ) .... I can appreciate all the things you say above, and hope the car is a real success for the company ... but to me modern cars in total have no interest and in my garage serve as dull but efficient boxes to get the shopping. I understand that my requirements for a 'fun' car are a bit obscure, but they do it for me.

That doesn't make me a bad person or some closed-minded luddite (no offence George!🙂) ... modern Morgans aren't for me .... fine and wonderful though they are. A creaking, rattling, draughty 'seat of the pants' ride does me perfectly! ...and that's a check of 'my' reality🙂

K

PS.... I'm aware no company on earth can survive customers like me ... however there are plenty with other tastes who are as passionate about the modern Morgans as I am about my old one ... so all's good 👍

I’ll join in with my 26 year old V8 growler which gives me everything I need and I can play around with it, but if I had the cash I’d add a Supersport to the stable and retire the Fiesta 😎

I do like the Supersport, but if I came into a wedge of cash it'd have to go on an Aeromax.....

No reality check needed - it's entirely subjective. Morgan buyers are traditional by definition and this car is a modern twist on the traditional Morgan shape.

For me, the deal breakers are the BMW gear shifter and the rifle-bolt door latch. Anyone spending £100k+ on a car deserves better.

I may be in a minority here, but I love the rifle-bolt door latch on my Plus Six, and the gear shifter isn't bothering me in the slightest.

I doubt I will fork out £30k+ to exchange my Plus Six for the Supersport, but I wish MMC well with what looks to be a superb evolution of the marque.
