The long version

BMW's turbo four under the ash frame means it actually starts and drives like a modern car despite looking like a prewar leftover — the trick that keeps it off the museum-piece list. Morgan's owner culture leans into club drives and touring rallies rather than concours displays, and the mileage data reflects a community that treats the car as characterful transport rather than a static investment. The long build queue filters out anyone who wasn't serious well before delivery, but what actually keeps this from becoming a garage queen is an ownership culture that expects the car to be used, not just admired.
