This is all very interesting and useful. Thanks so much for the contributions. Regular maintenance doesn't worry me although it would be much easier if we had a garage - planned for next year.
I've visited to two dealers so far. Knightsbridge last year just before buying the Vantage and Brands Hatch Morgan last week. Both were very friendly and obliging so it seems there are some good dealers about. Is it worth a trip to the factory to get a clearer idea about what goes into a Morgan? You can only see so much on Youtubeboxface. It would also be nice to see a range of colour and trim combinations in the flesh. Would the direct sales outlet at the factory display a greater variety?
As an aside, there seem to be an awful lot of IT specialists on the site. Is that because you like the tech side of an online forum or because the more traditional, tech free nature of the Morgan is a kind of antidote to work? I fly an Airbus for a living which is all fly-by-wire, computers, digital read outs and artificial "feel" and the Morgan would certainly be it's antithesis.
