I met up with a very long-term and serial Morgan owner on a classic car holiday last year. His advice was - don't buy on looks as two identical looking cars can be like chalk and cheese. They simply must be driven before a decision is made.

I was lucky enough to go down the "new" route and my car has proved superb and a delight to own. They however do "settle" with regard suspension and generally get much better with the miles. Its a far better car with 2500 miles covered than it was at 250 for example. The gearbox/engine/steering all seem to become better as the miles mount. I've been told around 8000 miles is the sweet spot - but again every car can vary and its how they are driven i guess.

So a little used, low mileage car might not be the best buy and something thats been used, but cared for, would be better.

If you have a look at Allon-white website you'll be able to download/request a buyers guide which is very useful.
