Interesting thread.

I was lucky enough to grab mine last year as soon as it was advertised, and I bought it without even driving it although I had immense confidence in Phil Ledgerwood. Even so, by the time I could visit (Rang on a BH Saturday, viewed on Tuesday 9am) they'd had well over a dozen calls about the car..!

Roadsters have always been made in lower numbers than 4/4's and +4's, presumably because they're the most expensive in the Trad line up, but they're out there if you're patient and search well.

You'll have to be prepared to travel to view, I'm afraid. Unless you're really lucky.

It's worth waiting for, anyway...just under 300bhp in a car that weighs as much as a wet towel, and with no driver aids, means you can waffle like a pussycat or howl like a hot rod.

Residuals for the Trad +8 are bound to rise a bit this year, with it being the 50th anniversary year. Whether this rise will plateau and remain or drop back next year is down to guesswork at the moment, but like all Morgan purchases if it's what YOU want then you'll buy.

Usual advice here, try as many as you can, visit several dealers and get a good feel for them and how they're made, and keep your feelers out for your particular one.
