This car is/was a couple miles from my house and I stopped and talked with the owner many times. It sat in the spot shown for at least 20 years and every Morgan enthusiast in Western PA tried to buy it. It was never for sale. My friend who owns a foreign car repair garage around the corner from where the car sat repaired it for the owners at least 20 years ago. They drove it only a few times and one of the axles snapped. It has been sitting ever since. Its a shame they let it sit with the garage door open for years as I have watched the weather take its toll on the car. I saw it filled with snow on more than one occasion. Good for you that you were able to buy it. Every time I spoke with the owners they were always going to restore it....someday.
Best of luck with it. John
