That is dead sexy.
Too bad I haven't a chance to own one. ... Of the *eight* that will ever be made.

When it is good, it is very very good.
But when it is bad, boom, Big Bada Boom. One misfire in one cylinder will destroy a $30 or $40 thousand dollar motor.

Some years ago Sir John Harvey-Jones, former chairman of ICI, presented a TV series called 'Troubleshooter'.
In each episode he visited a firm which which was in need of a bit of advice to help it modernise or simply to survive. The Morgan Car Co was the subject of one programme and I vividly remember him commenting that: Quote:
Ten years later he went back to a number of the firms to see how each was faring. The Morgan segment starts at about ten minutes in. If you want to see the latest price list click here: Link I suggest that you hold on to something firm while doing so.  BTW £1 = $1.24

I like those a whole lot.
Their cost is not out of line with a bunch of cars with less to offer. As a practical matter, I will split a bottle of fragrance with one or two of you. |

They gave me the US price lists which were in dollars, except the Plus Six gives me a 404 on the price.
The Plus-4 at $70k and Roadster at $80k (plus custom embroidery/piping and leather or Walnut dash, etc) are quite tempting. However, I shan't do business with heathens who hang sweaters on hangers. He left in a snit.

Seeing tires worn past the tread was more common years ago.
Perhaps related was that flats and especially blow-outs were too. Up to even the forties and fifties, actually fixing (patching) a tire on the side of the road was something you occasionally needed to do. Of course you carried a patch kit and a pump. LOL Run-flats and no spare at all are taking over. |
