GoMoG Law of Simplicity: The More Complexity One Incorporates Into a Sports Car, the More Its Performance and Reliability are Prejudiced. Sports Automobiling is a sport. (duh!) Unlike road cars, they should be designed as one would a golf club or a tennis racket, namely, to be reactive and express the skill of the driver in the clearest way. Ages ago. Morgan stumbled into this home truth during the Golden Age of Automobiling in the 1930s and was able to keep a hold on a small and fiercely loyal crowd of fans, which included a disproportionately large percentage of famous racers and hand's on amateur mechanics for generations. By chance, the MMC developed a simple sports vehicle that was packaged in a lovely shape, using very commonly found engines and that COULD be tweaked to have a supremely comfortable suspension by savvy owners. Unlike other sports car fare, this simplicity, reliability and comfort owners allows them to go long distances with confidence, despite the super thin support infrastructure. Morgan production justifiability achieved the name of The Last of the Real Sports Cars. The company, under its third generation management, abandonned this formula and began to cater to a different market that pleased him more..despite the wholesale loss of its old market, its assets, its reputation for no-nonsense machinery and product support. Government grants kept it afloat, (Politicians are not auto mechanics) In the end, the divided family was forced to sell the Company for less than the grants it had received in the years leading up to that sale, a small fraction of what it was worth 25 years before. Now it produces vehicles without any real connection to the line that lasted 110 years. The current design does NOT encourage interactions between owners and their Morgans. The engines are much rarer and infamously expensive to part-support and the addition of unfocussed accessories makes the cars less reliable, if warranty claims and the GoMoG Inbox can be used as a judge. :( The new cars are what they are designed to be, plush retro-looking touring cars. This article addresses one issue that cropped up with the new MMC mentality. There are scores more. I deal with this one because I very much respect the early Roadsters and I host their Group on this facility. The world and our communities would be better served if new MMC would stop trying to convince everyone that the current cars are the same now as they were for a century. A superficial shell does not a sports car make. It does neither community, new or old, a beneficial service to try and convince any that it is otherwise.
