I love it to bits


For me, this is the whole point about Morgans - they are all about building up a relationship with the car over a long period - none of them offer instant gratification and they all have niggles which need to be ironed out. It doesn't matter what you end up with so long as you love it.

I know there are folks out there who like to change their car more frequently than I change my undercrackers, and jolly good for them too, but I honestly think they are missing out a bit on the enormously rewarding aspects of long-term ownership.



I very much agree. However; Owning and maintaining 3 Morgans is not a good way to go IMO. I had and having a great time building and improving My +8 Bitsa. I learned a lot about the various aspects and capability of a +8. Recently I installed a aftermarket EFI with very interesting results. Better? I am not sure but certainly different. I have a design and pictures of a trailing arm coilover rear suspension. Not sure at this late date in My life I will get it installed. I have driven a Morgan with this suspension and again interesting but certainly not necessary. Just adding a panhard rod probably be enough. However; My 1963 +4 4Str is a better handling and riding Morgan by far than the +8. My +8 is on a par with a 2000 +8 I drove for several thousand miles a year ago in Northern California. So I am quite sure My +8 Bitsa is about as good as it gets.
