Morgan owners are a breed apart.

Was he wearing an old jacket with leather patches on the elbows, like my old geography teacher? :)

The age probably doesn't matter, given I've spent a lot of the summer underneath a far more recent model, and its built in exactly the same way as they were 100 years ago.  Only now, they usually have 4 wheels.

Like most low-production specialist cars now, they mostly use bonded aluminium chassis. There's a small amount of ash framing to support the body which is unusual.

I'm sure I've read that a towbar cannot be used on a Morgan, if that's true his insurance would be compromised, especially when you look at the design of rear end.

Have Morgan progressed to bigger, SUV, models?

My daughter has just ordered from an MG dealership a big SUV, with all the extras.  I remember when we loved the sports MG’s, in all their simple glory.  By coincidence, out side my doctors the day before an old geezer, of about 90, drove up in a pre1963 MG Midget.  What a blast from the past that was! ;D

The SUV reflects nothing of that basic heritage, apart from the MG badge. It is impressive though for the price :D ;)

Moving to an SUV is never progress, nor is it conducive to it. ;).

Loads of them around our area the garage that sells them has got the best reputation in our area, one model looks very similar to a VW Passat and our local taxi company has two estate versions as part of their fleet. Quite a few EV models available as well. I think that the right to the MG name was acquired for a small cost.

Moving to an SUV is never progress, nor is it conducive to it. ;).

It is when it is a Mobility car and costs an upfront deposit, plus a monthly benefit deduction, for a severely autistic child.  She needs to move people and support items around in it, and a standard 5 seater car is not up to the job.

The Vauxhall Grandland X that she has currently requires an upfront deposit way above that for the MG, and has not got the specification of the latter.  So the MG SUV is the best choice for her needs, and I must say is nice to sit in with a the good spec. ;)

Beggars cannot be choosers. :D
