Pls watch the video, cringe worthy or what 
I think it’s quite pretty.

Exterior in keeping with the Morgan image but giving it a modern look, but the wood! Oh the wood. So passe!
Pretty?.. Pretty?.. Pretty? Real Morgan drivers don’t do pretty, we do oil stained overalls and backache. A bunch of Italian vulture capital sissies have stolen the marque. €120K to buy a decent one now. Soon we’ll be regarded with the same contempt as Porsche owners are

Red tie, blue shirt … next you’ll be claiming you weren’t head of corporate at a merchant bank 
Goodness, how could you think I would sink so low as to be a banker 
A drug dealer perhaps, a pimp or even an executive with Paddy Power (all three of which I regard as offensive professions) but a banker. My, how you have misjudged me.

You can just imagine the brief, we need swanky, we need up market, we need new and exciting but you cannot change the look of the morgan.
Add a bit of wood veneer job done, please have our cheque ready when we leave

Yes, shitty isn’t it. I think the marque is dead in the EV age. Porches, Ferraris etc too. What’s the point when a shopping trolly has the same performance
In a weak moment I did once or twice consider a Porsche, but I couldn’t navigate my way through the seat stitching colour options. Pages and pages of bullshit interior options, dial colours. central clock options, headlining, ambient lighting, etc. etc. Frankly they are now wealth and fashion statements not cars.
The real Porches, the air cooled ones, I found too noisy. Lovely to listen to as they power through a rally special stage in the Kielder forest, but hell as a daily driver. Not my cup of tea. Though Denis Jenkinson’s “A passion for Porsches” is a great read
I-have-a-Moss-box!

It’s a mess - a mish-mash of ideas! The styling mixes too many design metaphors - for me the woodwork evokes a boat, rather than the traditional Mog ash frame, but the body style isn’t barchetta (traditional Italian sports car design with a rounded boat-shaped tail). That said, it looks better from behind.
The numerous ventilation louvres interrupt the visual flow, as do the squared-off sides of the front wings. Think the seat upholstery could have been more retro…

Likewise and ICE powered for an added bonus.
I never followed the Morgan evolution, and have only ever driven one once - the Plus 8 (or was it an Aero?) with the Buick-Rover V8. But despite them often being the butt of conversations (but it did win a 2l class at Le Mans once…), regarded them as solid reliable. And maybe the only UK car company that plods along without any histrionics.
I never once looked at their prices and amazed that you are right - several in LaCentrale at this price and more… They obviously hold their value…
As another Morgan Owner (G56 modded S&S V twin engine Three Wheeler) I also think it is horrible. Maybe for the Italian market of the new owners? I also don’t like the new Super 3, which is very slab sided. I don’t know what the top speed of my M3W is (supposedly it has 125 BHP) but I am damned sure I would not try driving it at 130MPH, like apparently Freddie Flintoff was doing when he had his nasty accident in the Super 3.

He was lucky to survive, a terrible accident.
I don’t really like the new three wheelers. There has to be a lovely big V twin on the front, like yours, to look right. I wouldn’t doubt your power output, and massive torque to boot
Three wheeler? Like a Reliant Robin?

I’m really sorry because it also looks endearingly steampunk, but it does look very silly.

I have had more smiles and admiring folk coming up to me in France in my M3W than in any other car, Porsche, Ferrari or similar. I was lucky enough to find a French WW1 linen flying cap that looks like a flat hat but when you turn it through 180Âş, it has built in goggles at the back. When I got it, it still stank of castor oil and I had to wash it very carefully. I replaced the very fogged and yellowed original celluloid lenses with modern polarised flexible polycarbonate, made for motorcycle goggles.

Brilliant Anybody can buy a Porsche or a Ferrari, but it takes character to drive a M3W

I think many of the best things in life are very silly Staying a bit silly as one ages is vital to a happy life. I know you’d agree with that Vero
