I am a retired ex mechanic of 1948 vintage. The last classic car rebuild I did was a Triumph TR2 which I had to sell 45 years ago to raise the deposit for our first house. I now have the opportunity to buy one of the most beautiful cars in the world, a 1961 Plus4 2 seater roadster LHD. It has just been shipped from California and is a rebuild project but most of the work has already been done and it looks as though it has been done properly. The car is at least 95% complete but will need re-wiring and full upholstery refurb. All body panels are very good, just needs putting together, preparing and painting. The bulkhead has been painted already in what I thought was B.R.green but it could be Brunswick now I have seen a few pics.
I would like to convert it to RHD if at all possible, I have never driven a LHD and I have to say the prospect of having to do so does not fill me with joy.
I am looking forward to the steep learning curve I know I have to negotiate in order to get my Morgan back on the road so I will no doubt be asking for advice and guidance.
I have just realised that I started this post saying that I have the opportunity to buy and in my head I now already own it. I had better make the phone call and commit to the deal and remember to be very nice to my wife.
