NOT a TDI!

For me, the ultimate ironies are Porsche, Alfa Romeo, Jaguar and Bentley SUVs...

Yes, but these models have provided enough revenue and profit to allow those companies to continue building sports cars. So for that I'll accept the irony.

I toured the Morgan factory while visiting England two years ago. They build those cars one at a time using an Old World team hand built method. The craftsmanship and pride in the work is obvious. They also displayed a few non-production prototypes including a plug-in battery electric.

The chassis by-the-way are NOT and never have been of ash wood as some think. The coachwork frame for the bodies only is made of wood.

Correct!

I love the tonneau cover. I learned to drive in an AH Sprite and used to drive it to high school in damp weather with the tonneau cover on, driver's side unzipped. If I ran the heat it kept most of me warm. That was fun.

I did the same with my first car—1979 MGB.

Don't forget the new Lotus SUV.

What? No way...

What? No way...

Yup. Geely, the Chinese automaker that bought Volvo also owns Lotus now. I guess they're trying to conform to market demands. Colin Chapman probably wouldn't be pleased, I suspect.

Saw a Maserati SUV today...

Which is basically a Dodge.
