Hi Simon, thanks for your advice.
I totally agree this is a hugely different experience from the German set. To be honest that is a lot of the appeal. I am yearning for something with some real character!
The occasional use nature of Morgan isn't a problem for me either. It's a nice day car that I am really after - I have only done 12k in 4 years in the Cayman!
My view on niggles etc is that I expect them on a hand crafted car. I am less forgiving for a precision engineered German car that is produced largely by robot. There is no excuse there. Besides, the niggles are only an issue if you are not well looked after in terms of customer service, and from what I understand, Morgan dealers are better than most.
I will certainly arrange a factory tour both pre purchase and during the build. As you say,m embracing the whole experience, including the community is all part of it.
I am based in Aylesbury, Bucks. Not sure where nearest dealer is.
Your advice to test the 4/4 alongside the Plus 4 is good and I will do that. thanks
