Great to see you back Neil after your battle. I think Peter makes some very insightful comments within his post so very good advice indeed.
It is a dilemma - one I have been discussing with my father who got out of Morgan ownership 20 years ago and now wants back in. The sweet spot with regard ages/prices seems to be around the £30K mark - not that there is anything wrong with an older car - far from it, but for relatively little extra outlay a far more modern car can-be obtained with all the inherent advantages that brings. The other thing that struck me - I think your previous Morgan was an 80th Anniversary 4/4? Any car you end up with needs to live up to it or disappointment may set in?
Having said that Allon white have just listed a terrific 1983 4/4 with just 2200 odd miles on it - looks stunning. They also have a 1996 4/4 that looks good at a shade over £20K.
