It depends on which side of the fence you sit

I do see the appeal of a classic Morgan (not the Aero). It's a bit like buying a vintage car straight from the factory.

They are obviously not better than modern designs or even as good, they are just different and unique.

I can imagine a few Morgan drivers put on their leather caps and string backed driving gloves and dream of the days when Spitfire's and Mustang's ruled the skies

Are you guys kidding...old sells! There is this thing called nostalgia and without it Harley Davidson would not exist much less prosper.

I was trying to appeal to both sides of the pond

With it's wooden frame I guess the Hurricane would have been more appealing to Morgan nostalgia than even the Spitfire
