Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Managing Wife's Expectations (no, not like that)

So much useful advice already given I know and which may reflect the average ages of typical Morgan owners and purchasers..
When we bought ours my wife was in a wheelchair recovering from a number of problems including a rebuilt hip. She is now mobile and still reliant on a crutch but we have covered more than 10k miles since purchase in reasonable comfort - unavoidable potholes and rough roads excluded. Comments about long door models and roof down motoring are important as are dressing appropriately although that takes a bit of practice and experience. We have met a lovely group of new friends and the camaraderie amongst owners, particularly in the many club centres is second to none. We have been welcomed where ever we have been and have enjoyed much enthusiasm from passers by of all ages. This probably applies to other marques but certainly with Morgans ownership has become as much a pleasure for both of us as driving has been for me.
Re the seat design, I have noticed that these have varied over time. Mine were rebuilt to be a bit higher with more padded squabs than those supplied originally although I had to lower mine as I am 6ft 2in. I suppose what I am saying is they can be altered to suit.
I hope that you manage to find something that enthuses and inspires. Buying one was probably the best thing we did to aid my wife's recovery and we haven't looked back. Mind you she was trying to keep up with my Mum who demanded to be taken out in her 90s!
