I am probably more loyal to my fleet than most on here, who seem to change cars more often than I change my underpants, but a moments loss of concentration can easily fuel infidelty. It really only takes one test drive. In fact I had this conversation at the VW dealers a couple of weeks ago, about test driving a Golf GTI. I was advised not to until I was ready to buy one - so I didn't. Thoughts of betrayal are never far away.
A yellow Plus 8 from the early nineties for example......
Or a sunburst orange anything for that matter.
In my case Morgan ownership is a one-way-only road. Unless in case of absolute need I don't plan to sell my Plus 4 and my future Brookie M3W. If anything the stable can only grow in the future.
Funny that I met recently another Morgan owner (at the hill climb). He owns 3 Morgans. One 4/4, one +4 two seater and one +4 four seater. When I asked why he had all those he explained why he bought them (one new, two used, from friends that needed to sell). And then he told me "and once you buy them, you just can't sell them." I understood him well.
But I guess you guys in the UK don't feel this ...rarity ... because you have excellent dealers with cars to sell that flirt you for new deals. Here, Morgan isn't a brand you relate to as you do with others. There's no stand to go and watch cars for sale, you just contact the dealer and order a new car. Or you try to find an used for sale, but their price (when rarely available, I think there's none at the moment) is almost the same as in new. So ... you buy them, and you don't sell them.
