I was browsing Autotrader for ****-all I can afford, when I came across this beast. I just had to share it.

+1 from me. I can understand the skill that's gone into it but it's not what id call a beautiful car, not enough flow from panel to panel and way too boat like!

Ugly. Not for me - and especially not at 100k. But then again, I never got Morgans, even the pre-war-looking wooden frame ones, so maybe it's me.

I'm not a Morgan fan either and there seem to be a few of us here. Maybe German car owner enthusiasts are looking for something different in their motors, to what a Morgan appears to offer.
I do think its got bags of character though

I think that's what I love about it.

Seems like there's not much love for the Morgan here. How about the new shape?

Hmm…still not for me, I think.

However I will give them credit for not charging exorbitant prices for their options and accessories - unlike other "premium" brands (Audi anyone?) who seem to think that because you're prepared to pay a lot for the car, you've suddenly taken leave of your senses and are willing to pay silly prices for such things.
