Geoff welcome your love of these cars shines through so that definitely qualifies you as a member hopefully one day you will get behind the wheel! If you are ever in Kenr pm me and you can drive mine!
That is very kind and generous of you Roger.My wife want's to visit Canterbury sometime next year for a few days, so I might just take you up on your offer.
Many years ago (1988), I built a Pilgrim Bulldog kit car, which was in the same style as a Morgan, it was made from a steel chassis, with fibre glass body shell, using donor parts from a Morris Marina for the running gear, all refurbished, but I put a reconditioned MGB 1800 engine mated with a Triumph Dolomite gearbox and back axle in it, which improved the acceleration much more like a sports car.
I had it until the end of 1993, when some stupid idiot came out of a side road, right into the side front wing of my beloved car. It was a complete write off and although I got £6000 on his insurance, it would have meant buying another kit to replace it, but I just couldn't face another two years building one again. So I'm afraid my classic sports car experience came to an end and it was back to owning and running mass production cars again. Although not in the same league as a Morgan, it was a very similar driving experience and it performed very well and was such a fun car to drive, with lots of looks as you drove it.
