Hi Lilo, I'm assuming, maybe wrongly, from the number of cars that you have seen that you are located in the 'Ile de France' region. Are you looking for a 4 Seater or a 2 seater? 4 Seaters are rare enough in UK, let alone 'LHD' cars in europe. Have you seen the 2 Seaters currently shown as being for sale on the MCF site ? All are either Depts 77 or 92. They certainly don't look too bad, but the price is something else; when compared to similar UK cars.
It depends when you start your 'Morgan' life as to what you expect from the car. Pennyless like me, the fact that it was a 'Morgan' was enough for me. Today I am a bit more particular about what I drive! A mid 90s' car is going to be showing its age and the fact that it has been used. like all Mogs should be. The 'Beauty' of a 'Moggie' apart from its looks, used to be that it was cheap and simple to maintain and eventually re - build when the time came.
Don't be put off a car by the 'obvious',they can usually be fixed. Certainly the symptoms you describe.
I have not had 'Dealings' with the French Agent, but if he is anything like the old established UK Dealers, he may be willing to advise you about specific points, or queries you may have. There is always "Talk Morgan" look what we did for Matthew! Aren't you glad you listened to us Matt?
