I would buy it, it's has its faults yes but is has character something that's missing from most modern cars these days.

Hand made and not factory mass produced, as well as really holding their value makes the Morgan a better and rarer buy.

You're saying that as if "hand made" automatically makes it better. It's pretty evident from this review that hand made isn't always better than factory mass produced.

***** I'm not saying they are the best made. Only that, they appeal to a more traditional customer and are made in a traditional way. They have long waiting lists and a huge following world wide. The best thing is; no other car company else owns them.

clanmac66 hand made cars are some of the best and to be honest, jason is slag the car off because it wasn't as modern as he would like it and Morgan' s are all about old motoring and the enjoyment of what motoring was back in the 60's and how good the cars looked as well. very good car

driving it in the wrong environment imo...you don't take a Morgan to the track, it's all about taking one down a country road during sunny summer/autumn afternoons. And yeah comparing it to an XK is stupid. Chris Harris does a better review of this car imo

I think that every judgment depends on what you are searching for. If you are looking for performances, this car shouldn't be among the possible choices, because it's frankly destinated to a type of customers oher that the lovers of performance. That's why, in my opinon, the comparison between the Jaguar and the Morgan does not make sense. It's like compare Bourbon and Champagne. Nonetheless, if you consider that for the the same amount of money you cane get either a Jaguar or a Morgan, the Morgan's qualities are, in respect to Jaguar's, frankly emabrassing.

Having bits snap off is unforgivable at any price. However, the reviewer sounded like he had made his mind up to make a comparison between the Morgan and Jaguar. Both vehicles offer completely different driving experiences and although the Jaguar would give more customer satisfaction in the reliability and daily usage scenarios, the Morgan is surely only ever seriously considered by those fortunate to be able to purchase a piece of old school heritage, albeit with modern technologies thrown in. This is perhaps why Morgan now sell the 2litre and 3.7litre models and have even more classic appeal than this offering. They offer a totally unique and rewarding driving experience so long as the driver is prepared to work harder and engage in milking the goodies any Morgan has in spades.

time is irrelevant, new style, old style, new technology or old, people should think more, is this good, does it serve a purpose, whether the reasons are biased or practical, anything that is new, doesn't mean its good, anything that is old doesn't mean its obsolete, if you need proof look up citroen and technologies of the future that said, they probably need to tweak this car a bit, and get rid of any parts that are not practical or serve any means of nostalgia to anyone

This car was licked before it started eh? typical of all Brit motoring correspondents, running down home products is a trendy art-form!.....different car to the Porsche but see what worth in 10 years! I'm looking at a 25 year old Morgan and the asking is £25000. A £70000 MB SL 12 years old worth £11000!

He's running the car down, becasue he's a professional driver with a proven record in motorsport, and half of that car came from Alibaba, and the rest is German. I bet you voted Brexit - We want our Sovereignty back ... so we can decide which German company to sell our British car industry to ...

@@pringle239 Thank you. Im in the US, unfortunately, so need to deal with local dealer. Morgan Mid-Atlantic has promised to rectify all the problems at the 1000 mile service on a priority basis, however no apology or compensation. Just "some have problems, most don't," as you've said. Car cost $60k. They need to tighten up their QC and do proper PDIs. It's really inexcusable.
