Daft question coming up. Morgan use a lot of ash in the cars framework. What if ash die back really is as bas as people say?

They build them pretty slowly, I don't imagine the get though huge amounts of timber.

 

My understanding is that on the continent 65% of Ash have been affected, so even worse case scenario we will still have a fair bit of Ash.

 

Also infected Ash timber is unaffected, so timber can be harvested, dried and stored.

Cheers skyhuck. It would be interesting problem though. They would need to find another material with the same properties for the chassis to work correctly

You appear to have missed my point, there will always be some Ash and for a luxury product such as the Morgan it will be found

No Skyhuck I got your point I was just in a hypothetical mood

Family friend, (now deceased) always bought Morgans. At one point, he had three, his wife had one and his eldest had one too. I seldom got to be a passenger but what I remember, is that they were exhilarating and uncomfortable. Bit like a classic MG on roids.
