I drove my 4/4 Sport at Tim Ayres on a whim. We were holidaying nearby(ish) and it was my turn to pick a day out. I said "Why don't we go and have a look at some Morgans at New Elms". "Just a look round for something to do and a bit of lunch after" I said.
We were lucky and Tim had a bit of stock at the time so when he offered me a test drive in a 70s 4/4 I drove my first Morgan. It was an amazing experience but the cockpit was cramped and it had been modified, so I asked Tim if he had anything else?
"Only that one on the ramp, but it is much more money". he replied.
"Can we see it?" I said.
Well it was one of those magic visual experiences that happen so rarely, as the ramp descended from the shadows, this vision of beauty in the form of a Black 4/4 Sport gradually revealed itself and I was never going to walk away from that car from that moment.
I took it for a test drive first with my petrolhead son, and then with Mrs M and we bought it as soon as we got back to Tim's. It was a much better fit as it was a long door and only had 14000 miles on the clock.
Another case of love at first sight.
