I’ve had 3 Caterham and 3 Morgansover the years ... and I love both marques.
My first Morgan was 45 years ago, and I used to swap it with a friend’s Lotus Seven S4. The MOG 4/4 was a nicer car to live with, but the 7 had incredible roadholding and performance.
Then a long gap till a Caterham 7 Roadsport, then a Blackbird (Caterham with a Honda Blackbird engine and sequential box), then a Superlight, then a 3.7l Roadster, and finally the Aero.
Domestic circumstances meant the Aero had to go, but I did look at another Caterham Blackbird earlier this year. Just as utterly bonkers as the previous one, but this time my head ruled my heart.
All six cars held their value well, which is important to me with a pure toy. I sold the Blackbird for more than I paid for it, effectively a free year of motoring taking account of insurance, tax, servicing and fuel.
The next will be a M3W.
