Hi everybody, I'm Colin from near Chester.
I don't have a Morgan but I've always pined after one. Last year I did the factory tour and later hired a Morgan for the day. It was supposed to be he Roadster but when I arrived they had stopped the 3.0 and there was some insurance problem with the new 3.7 on the hire fleet so they gave me a Plus 4 and a full tank of fuel to make up ..... and I managed to empty the tank before bringing it back.
I must say I was pretty done in at the end of the day because as most on here will know that driving it takes a lot more effort than a modern car ( my daily drive is an MX5 coupe)!
I often look at what is for sale and it's a little confusing when, for instance, 20 year old 4/4's are only a few thousand less than a modern 1.6 sigma. Most of the older ones look better though, the later ones all seem to be bumper-less and look a little dull on black wires. There is a very nice '96 4/4 1.8 Zetec locally for £21500, and a 2012 4/4 in the same showroom for £27000 .... so want should one do?
There are also 3 new Roadsters and 3 new 3 wheelers in the same showroom which makes me wonder how the residuals are going to hold up?
Anyway, enough for a first post, time to read through some more topics on here
Colin
