Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. Such a diverse set of locations, but nice to see some local people too. Hopefully at some point I will meet up with some of you too, not that it wouldn't be nice to meet up in Australia owners too.
In small world moment I mentioned to my local garage owner that I'd gone and bought the Morgan, he casually mentioned that they look after one for someone who lives about a mike from me and it's a 2005 1.8 too.
Although buying from the auction was nerve wracking it wasn't quite sight unseen. Linda and I got back from holiday on the Sunday and went straight to the auction on Monday for a good look over the car and even start the engine. Then Linda bid on the phone on Wednesday, whilst I snuck out of work to watch on the internet.
Price paid was just less than we would go to, but allowed a few £k for unknown problems, which fortunately I've not found yet.
At the moment other than the big run back from the auction, most journeys have been fairly local and usually involve stopping to eat food somewhere nice. Still racked up nearly 400 miles so will have to be careful of the limited miles on the insurance.
Cheers for now
James
