For me it started with; Marianne Faithfull;.. Ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her (my) hair.
I was 38 and thought will it ever???
But our house first needed a new roof. A friend willing to help me came along with his 1980 Morgan 4/4
I told him my next investment would be an open sports car. It wouldn't be a Morgan that's far out of my range.
An MG or a spitfire will do. But every time he came by I kept asking questions about this Morgan.
On a very hot day; I think he had enough of my questions: He gave me his keys and said I could take a ride
Getting into a Morgan for the first time with the hood up even without windows is a challenge in itself.
BUT after a few 100 meters and the first corners I was sure THIS IS IT. It took a few extra years.
And it is thanks to the wife that it did not last any longer, she was fed up with my doubts about color price etc..
The two tone was good Value for money but I had reservations about the color. She said we buy this one.
Still have it.
So If I had never driven a Morgan I would never have bought one.
