Raganar, I wondered why you think a pre 70 car might be more suited to your requirements than perhaps up to mid 80`s..?
For me it was the introduction of digital technology that began to complicate repair and maintenance for the home mechanic that fouled things up. My mid 80`s +8 has an electronically controlled choke system which I think was the beginning of Morgan being forced into the world of emissions control while still running carbs, I suspect my old +8 was one of the last produced to to have carbs as some Morgans registered around the same time mine were produced with fuel injected engines.. ?
Currently running a modern diesel family car, but very open to electric replacement if/when the time comes to replace it.
