Sure. Happy to help. (120-76)/120 = 37% loss. The other Aero 2005 (with 600 miles) I mentioned was being sold privately for 60k USD a few weeks ago. (120-60)/120 = 50% loss.

I would.

Absolutely agree. I have paid more than a new Aero on each of my cars. Love them both. I have no budget when it comes to Morgans.

However, others do (in a special way). As I have said before, the key to Morgan (a tiny company in a tiny rural village making a very expensive quixotic car) being in business for the last 4-5 decades is that the risks of buying one were balanced away by fact that you couldn't lose more than fuel, road tax and insurance...and you could often make money on your fun. That is still the case in many countries. It is still the case with some models in your country.
