This topic will have been raised before, maybe even by me. But I was wondering what sort of annual mileage you average in your Morgan, having just worked out what I have done in my toys. The Lotus worked out at just under 2000 miles pa over 7 years and the bikes at 2500 over 20 years.
In neither case did I / do I feel constrained to keep the mileage down. Bike mileage is limited because it tends to be used only for single person / no luggage travel in congested areas. The Lotus because it was never any fun on motorways or in heavy traffic being designed for fast cornering on open roads. And how often do you get chance to drive just on nice empty windey B roads - well I guess the answer is 2000 miles a year for me.
No doubt the current toy will do even fewer miles - whilst market prices have been in a bubble over the last few years, depreciation due to mileage alone is still about £1 per mile. But a pal has been staying with us for a couple of days, a fellow owner and a very wealthy man who can be far more relaxed about resale price than me. But his 512 has still only averaged 1500 miles a year.
All this begs the question of why own something you barely use. So what annual mileage do you average, and if this is low, why do you bother owning the car?
