>>>The Morgan Plus Four can outrun a Ferrari, but I don't see anyone flocking to buy those<<< <<I say..... WHAT?>> The Morgan, handmade with solid walnut frame and chassis. Engine design unchanged since 1926. Goes from 0 to 60 faster than the Ferrari Testarossa. You can buy one new for $160,000. If you order one now, you can expect it to be shipped here by 2004. Once you pick it up at the docks, you can sell it for about $800,000. The President of Ferrari reputedly wanted one so badly that he damnded that one be shipped immediately. They ignored him. Then he pleaded and offered another $300,000. They got one to him in 3 years instead of the usual 6 and it wasn't even the color he wanted. Morgans are so rare and valuable that if you total one, it never goes to the junkyard. It get's rebuilt whatever the cost. It's also one of the most uncomfortable cars to drive - no shocks. Most easily recognized by the leather strap that holds down the hood. I wrote an ad campaign for them as an assignment at School of Visual Arts. "The Morgan plus Four can go from 0 to 60 faster than a Ferrari... But why would you want to." TAGLINE "Morgan, for those who can afford to wait."
