Another story that could be concluded " hold fire"

My dad was a keen Morgan owner when he had to have a triple bypass heart op in his mid 50s. It shock him big time and the immediate aftermath of his op, during the early days of recovery, decided that a Morgan was "too much" for him. You know - greasing / heavy steering / hood etc.

So he sold it. He luckily got better within 6 months and hankered after a special car again. He went the TVR route which he didn't gel with, lost quite a bit of cash in the process and was left unable to get back into a Morgan simply due to the price of them.

He often says he wished he'd waited before taking the decision to sell the Morgan.

So Pete I'd hang fire and review the decision in 6 months time.

After that maybe a Mustang ( new type) would fit the bill if the Morgan has to go. Lovely thing with the V8 - although quite bulky. Also be careful if your going secondhand - I have MOT'd several now that have just had their first MOT at 3 years. The lack of rust-proofing/surface rust in seams on the underside really shocked me - I'd want to see underneath before I bought one.
