Drove from Salisbury to York, via London Airport, where I collected a colleague. Then returned: 618 totally uneventful miles, overall average was 27.9mpg.

The ride up on Tuesday afternoon was a delight, a bright sunny day with puffy white clouds, almost a pastiche of a late summer day. We stayed in the Parsonage Hotel, a stone's throw from Kev.
On Wednesday we went over to Sandhutton for a meeting, The drive back was with the hood up, at times on the M1 visibility was down to a few car's lengths, so heavy was the rain and spray.
Tarka was warm, dry and leak free, other than the usual one round the driver's door lock. I must follow DW's instructions from a while back and apply leather and neoprene.
The new LED Lights certainly illuminate the way ahead and are a massive improvement over the standard lights.

Would the trip have been any nicer/easier in either of the Mercedes? I'm not sure, and for certain no one would have photographed the car: we noticed at least 3, possibly 4 times people taking a photo of this seemingly "old timer" keeping up with modern traffic.
A Morgan Plus 8 is a perfectly viable long haul drive, very comfortable....other than getting in and out with the hood up, which my ribs didn't appreciate.

So all I have to do is wash the car.....!!
