Chris Wilson Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 OK, I dislike Morgans, they may be quirky, they may be British, they may be "hand made", but they are an anachronism, usually bought by people at a certain time of later life crisis, and sold on again when the hormones are more settled. However, seeing the below I have to admit, even given an existing, and probably far from ideal base to work from, the stylists have done what Morgan have so far failed to do, and created a pretty, yet masculine looking vehicle, that appears quite practical. A modern retro car based on tiresomely reliable underpinnings. If I were a morgan stylist I'd be jealous and not a little worried about my job security. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=19089 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Actually, seeing the pics side by side, I know now why I don't like the "real" Morgan. It's the flat screen and it's 3 short wipers. Looks like a cheap kit car, where the budget won't run to a bespoke multi curvature screen. It spoils the car completely, IMO.

SteveR Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I quite like that copy version. Chris, I went round the Morgan factory (I live in Malvern) a few months ago, it didn't make me like the cars any more/less, but it was really interesting. If you're ever at a loose end you should come down and have a look one day. edit, looking at that thread again, I realise I didn't post the picture I took of various wooden parts being held in a press to impress a permentant shape into them.
