I so wish they brought these cars to the States. To me, more character than a lot of the competition at the price, and I had a spate of supercars from the mid-90's until I bought a pre-war car during the 2008 financial crash. I have no need for speed at this point in my life- and many of the top marques in the U.S. are all about HP and top speed, which is largely useless unless it is also suitable for tracking--maybe it's an age thing. The virtues of the old style without all the headaches?

Dunno, but when I spoke to Allon Whites' last week they didn't have one, seemed strange to me as Mogs to Oakmere are a sideline to the main Toyota / Mazda stuff I'm told Melvyn Rutter will not have one as demo, as they have dropped official new car dealer status

If that's true and Melvyn has bailed out, that's like the ravens leaving the tower of London.

I thought Melvyn was looking very pensive at Mogfest.

I was speaking to MR at Mogfest about the SuperSport, and they gave me Dan’s card from MMC as a contact, not one of their own. Didn’t think much about it at the time, but that would make sense if MR are stepping back as new car dealers for Morgan.

Well Uncle Melvyn has always been very strong on the trad range -with parts and knowledge and even took to the newer 5 speed three wheelers with enthusiasm at least initially, but perhaps less enthused by the Aeros so this may be understandable with the factory also signing up new dealers near his patch. Other long standing dealers have gone this way too under the previous MMC management.
