When one gets into older Morgans (I have spent the last 35 years with Older Morgans. A lot older than 1997). I just let my heart and pocketbook make the decision. No way to check these old Morgans to be 100% that they are free from rust and rot. The sill and rocker is where I look. You can access the sill from under the front wing. I check the upholstery in the footwell. If it is ratty and/or wet I get suspicious. One trick I used when checking a old Morgan out was to make the Owner a deal. I would negotiate a price if I found no rust and rot. If I could pull the interior out or loosen it so I could inspect the wood from the front of the sill to the rear and inspect as needed to verify it was rot/rust free. For Me I can ordinarily fix this rot/rust quite easily and if I found rot/rust (and I usually do) I renegotiate the price - if I still want the Morgan. But ordinarily I just pay negotiated price and fix the rot/rust. If You have no skills, go find an old Morgan codger who can advise You. Somebody like Me. I do this for free all the time. Owners do not like Me, afterall I will tear the lining out if I start to see rot. No choice!
