Funny, most Brits (or Aussies where I am now) think "Made in the USA" as a warning regarding cars. Jeeps are infamous and most others failed (in terms of reliability) or sold poorly. The current Mustang is an exception in Australia, selling well, and fairly reliable.

I do like the rambling discourse and knowledge combo and also the weather updates, please don't change that. I hired a Morgan in London about 25 years ago. Bumbled about with the roof and doors off. Decided at the end of the hire to take the car to an automated car wash (no brushes, just spray). Well, I was young and you can guess what happened. Everything inside and out was thoroughly washed, including me! It's certainly a fair weather vehicle. No use during hurricane season.

[@MrCarGuy]

What a beauty. I know they previously mostly sold Plus 8s here. I'd actually love to see a Lexus 2UR V8 in one of these. If you're on a British spree I'll await all the Caterham, TVR, Marcos and the like. Hopefully. I respect all these small automakers. I'd love to even drive something like a Ginetta road car if I could.

[@acd1202]

The reason for the BMW engine, this was the first Morgan with one but now all Morgans have BMW power is that a BMW director, I forget who, is an enthusiast and owner. BMW accommodate Morgan to such a degree that when the 4.4 V8 ceased use in their own cars BMW continued to hand build it in the prototype shop (rumoured at a loss) just for Morgan until emission rules finished it completely.Now they use the 6 cylinder from the M340i and the 4 cylinder from the 330i. Would GM have hand built 2 or 3 units a week of an out of production engine because they liked to see them in a Morgan?

[@matty6848]

I think G.M would. Many Americans are highly fond of Morgan’s because of their old fashioned English look. I’m sure G.M would of accompanied Morgan with specially built engines. Plus your supposed to be buying a English car with a German engine? I’d much rather have a American V8 under the hood. No one build better sturdy V8s than our American cousins do.. I have a Mustang with the V8 engine and she runs like a dream. In the 18 months I’ve had her, she’s gave me no problems, no check or alarm lights nothing, modern BMW engines wouldn’t do that.

[@SuicidalWarhead]

Looking forward to watch this tomorow morning...always had a soft spot for Morgans with the ashe frames (even though this one got an aluminium-structure with ashe parts as far as I remember) and BMW V8s...love the design of this even though it's a pretty big SQUINTER. Thank you for the amazing selection of cars. I really like the 40 minute formate and I think it fits the depth or your reviews (including rants and practical philisophy) rather well.

[@ellisfourthirty]

Have you ever seen the "How It's Made" episode where they do Worcestershire sauce? It's a terrifying insight, highly recommended.

[@matty6848]

Morgan’s are made in Malvern where I live Worcestershire sauce is actually made in the city of Worcester itself about 12 mile away. Being a Malvern local I see Morgan’s being test driven all the time around Malvern. To the locals it’s just a normal thing to see a Morgan driving around although you can hear them, before you see them.

[@matty6848]

I live in Malvern Worcestershire, England and I see Morgan test driving their cars round the town all the time. To us locals it’s nothing special. Visitors say “oh look a Morgan” and we’re like “yeh we see em all the time”😂

That was a real interesting video on a car I didn't even know exist.
