Hi Button
I enjoy your contributions and admire your approach to Morgans and life.
I would consider newer cars but do like the simplicity of the older ones. In the end, I want a car to drive more than tinker with but must keep to a modest budget. A well sorted older car may turn out to be good value for money.
In the meantime, I'm looking forward to the arrival of my book at the end of the week.
Best wishes

And thats the rub. Money vs Morgan. If I could I would buy a 3.0 2005 Roadster. I have driven them I like the Roadster. I have quite a lot of experience driving various models of Morgan. The balance/power trade off of the Roadster is ideal for the kind of driving I like to do. Mountain Roads. But in the U.S. they are very expensive and I can't afford one. Fortunately I am mechanically inclined (except for electronics) as well a rotten sill or rocker does not scare Me. I can fix it. So I trade My skill for the money I don't have. Strangely I enjoy repairing/maintaining My old Morgans as much as I do driving them. Also talking about them and My exploits on the Internet. I get a surprising amount of information exchanging information on the internet. I have Dave W.s book as well as Fred Sisson's collection, I know and am friends of John Worrall, Lorne Goldman and Peter Mulberry and I should not forget John Sheally II whom I must say probably helped a lot. I met Mel Rutter in Northern England in 1985 who must be the Worlds best Morgan supplier of parts un available anywhere. The Morgan community is small. With a little effort I must know just about everybody that knows anything about a Morgan. It is fun. I don't need money because I have enthusiasm for Morgans old or new.
