I have some experience of how to
not to make up your mind to buy a Morgan.

But even I can see that you are tackling it from the wrong direction.
There can be no
logical reason for buying a Trad Morgan with its outdated front and rear suspension and slightly dodgy build quality at a price thats more than you would have to pay for a modern Merc. Logic just doesnt work. You only buy a Morgan if it grabs you. The reason has to be irrational and emotional.
So if you are seriously considering a Merc as an alternative, and not even a Merc sports car, then you really dont want a Morgan . But if you are seriously considering a Morgan then why would you want a Merc?
Neither of them are financially sensible.. If you want to save money buy a Micra.[color:#FF0000][/color]
So forget the money side of it. Instead decide which style of car do you want - a modern german saloon derivative or a hand made car with a mix of 1930 and 2015 technology
