Interesting topic about values etc.

In 2005 I bought a pre-reg MX5 ( list price £17,500) for £15K. 13 years later its covered 21,000 miles and remains in immaculate condition - its value today? about £3000. So its "lost" less than £1000 per year. Not bad really but no where near as good as a Morgan.

I have no exact idea what a Morgan 4/4 or plus 4 cost in 2005 ( anyone know?) but today that same Morgan, in condition/miles as my MX5, would surely be worth £30-35K? Maybe around the same as in 2005?


While they are both 2 seat sports cars and both fun to drive, thats where the similarities end really. One feels really special and needs greasing / lots of attention - the other is a glorified domestic appliance ( albeit a very brilliant one).
