Hello All,
Introducing myself as new member to the Morgan fold, well soon to be. I am in the process of purchasing a 2014 Roadster from BHM (R3 MOG).
I've been lucky enough to have a run of nice vehicles but I came to the conclusion that I was wasting a lot of money on leasing cars that I'd change every few years and I decided I wanted to invest in something for a longer term, and not be chasing the latest models and features.
Whilst I've admired the Morgan from afar, I cannot say I had a burning desire to own one. Watching too many Wheeler Dealers and Car SOS had me looking at classic cars but I decided I was not brave enough to be reliant on a 40+ year old motor. Having watched far too many videos on YouTube and scouring this forum, I decided the 3.7 Roadster was the one for me, although reports on the negative characteristics very nearly put me off.
I enjoyed my first Morgan drive last weekend when test driving the car, I was pleasantly surprised by the ride and it cruised easily at 2,000 revs although to be honest, being 13 years since I last drove a manual, the whole experience an interesting sensation.
I can see that I will have a lot to learn about Morgan ownership (not helped by the opposing views), and whilst there is a small part of me is thinking I could come to regret this decision, life's too short to not try these things when you are given the chance - I am very much looking forward to the journey.
Thank you for the information (and entertainment) you have provided so far, I expect I'll be reliant on this in the future.
Cheers
Steve
