Personally for me the whole Morgan ownership experience was not good, I will never own another one. Quality, fit, finish not up to my expectations and lots of issues. Unfortunately not dissimilar to Defender ownership, for the money they need to be better.

My Morgan was exactly the same as my Defender......different from what everyone else drives!
Drive ability of both cars pre 1960, either accept it or pick something else |

Lots of Morgan owners have Defenders, they both adhere to the "They start them we finish them" principal.
As an aside don't confuse the current +8 with a trad Morgan, it is really an Aero with a trad look-a-like body. Brian (2012 Puma 2.4, 2002 +8 ) |

If I had the money I'd order a Threewheeler and a Plus 8 Speedster without hesitation. The 911 is build to perfection, but the British toys on wheels always let my heart skip a couple of beats!

Like you a morgan might be my car of choice if i dont like the new defender , although it wont be a new one and more likely a 2 seater 4/4 in a few years.
Something about them like the defender I think, something ill definitely have though. A proper British car with charm Defender puma dormobile camper |

I saw a lovely old couple (in their 70's) in a Morgan, only this Friday afternoon, pulling out of an old National Trust place (Little Moreton Hall). I thought how cool they were, old couple in a Mog, awesome.
Anybody not retired yet, driving a Mog, look like a bit of a goon. Just my opinion  |

Oh dear, I was only in my 40's when I had mine, if only my best friends had told me I was a goon, I would have sold it earlier, shame I enjoyed it for 5 years without realising, will only look back with regret now

I'm 41 and keep looking at Morgans.
Stratstone have some good offers on and most dealers have them in stock. You used to have to wait 2-3 yrs for one. I do feel I should be more at home with a lotus Exige s but the heart strings are still saying Morgan. Bring out the inner Goon  |
