The Morgan is pretty much the only car manufactured today that fills that requirement. Given that I have always wanted a Morgan the final decision was not difficult. Even though we chose fairly standard colours we had a lot of fun with the spec and really enjoyed dealing directly with the factory. Since then it has been one little addition after another. I'm wondering when I will decide to stop smile


You'll only stop when you get it perfect.

Then you'll sell it and start again.


It does seem that constant fettling is part of the Morgan bug and half the charm of owning one. There are so many worthwhile upgrades available. What I find difficult is that I am mechanically illiterate and less able to do things myself ( if only I had inherited my fathers skill as a restorer of vintage cars). So I thought the safest bet for me was a new car which was likely to have less issues doh

If I could find one I would o on a car mechanics course cheers
