One of the routes to cheaper motoring is to seek out the cars with most savage depreciation and buy at 18-24 months old. A quick check of Honest John to make sure that there are no serious flaws and away you go. You may not get the best driving experience but you will save money that can be redirected towards the Morgan in your life.
Post retirement, I bought my Citroen DS3 Cabrio at just under 2 years old.
12,300 miles and just below half full new retail price.
ps cracking little car.
ps And before anyone asks; it is not the poverty model.
