I decided to buy a new Morgan having had 4 previous Morgans that were all barn and back of garage finds. They needed rebuilds from full chassis up to the usual under door treatment.
I have had more niggly problems with the new than my own rebuilds. The engine, however, has been fine and feels more reliable than the tuned Fords of the past which needed regularly tuning and attention.
Miss the fun of rebuilds but my back doesn't!
