I started it 25 years ago and sold it 6 years later not quite finished, I just about got my money back. Would I do it again, NO, some of it was enjoyable but most of it was a hard slog, finding stuff and getting things fixed properly was often very frustrating.

So if you have got lots of free time, practical experience and want a challenge then have a go. If what you really want is a working Morgan to enjoy, sell it and find one that works and does not need major restoration. [/quote]

I had a similar experience with a 1967 Maserati Quattroporte, though I did get it finished in about a year. I enjoyed the experience and never intended to sell it but when I decided to stay in Italy it was inevitable. I took a hit of at least $10,000 on it. I don't know exactly because I stopped adding up the bills at a certain point. I one one concourse cup after the restoration and I believe the new owner has won several.

I would not restore another car myself. My days of bike and car restorations are over. I just want to enjoy something that works without problems now and do a little tinkering when I feel like it wink
