I'm sad to say that after 3 years the time has come for me to sell my beloved 4/4 Sport. I have a genuine reason for sale, in that I need to re-inject some cash into my business. The car will be available from the end of April. It has been a really enjoyable and totally hassle free experience for me owning this Morgan; my wife and I have made some great trips in it, and it's enabled me to make some great friends, including many of you on this forum. Once I've turned things around in my business, you lot can expect to see me back behind the wheel of one of Malvern's finest. I ordered the car new from Morgan France in Paris in May 2010, it was delivered to me in April 2011 & I paid €43 500 for it. The base price was €42 000, the Morgan France spec included a moto lita wood rimmed steering wheel, small rear view mirror, round door mirrors and two eared spinners and four years servicing and warranty. The most recent Morgan France price list lists the equivalent car at €50 000 excluding my options. The options I added were the rear luggage carrier and an option pack which included door handles, tonneau cover and elasticated door pockets. The car has been serviced by Morgan France from new and has now done 20 000 km.  Looking at the pricing of similar cars advertised in France, the cheapest I've seen has been asking about €38K. I'll be asking for around €36 000

Sorry to hear you will soon be Mogless, hope it's not too long. In the meantime do still drop in to TM with any news from the other side of La Manche. Gerry.

I hope both of you will remain with the forum? Well I can promise that I shall. I'll naturally introduce whoever buys my Mog to what is most certainly one of the jewels of the web.

I hope both of you will remain with the forum? Well said Graham, sorry I did not catch up with you yesterday, you seemed constantly busy.  Sorry to hear that the Mog is going Giles, have always enjoyed your posts so hope they continue? Trust that business picks up, our Bordeaux shippers are constantly complaining about their home market.  Best wishes Brian P.S. Also to you Meabh, trust life is being kind to you ?

Can only mirror the sentiments above Giles.
I am still committed to a road trip to your pub and was only chatting with a few owners about it a month or so back; it may take some time but I look forward to raising a glass with you on a fine day in mid summer!
As for the sale of your car: you may be Morgan-less for awhile but you'll always be part of the community.

One of those days Brian! Every time I looked around, you seemed to be busy too. Next time? Simon, grand idea!
