My longing for a Morgan started at 19 years old when my then manager, a South African on secondment to London, ordered a Plus 8 (then just launched) - he was on a three + year waiting list so spent most lunch hours pouring over the brochure and insisting we junior staff admired his purchase and assisted with choosing the options! He then got assigned to the USA and then back to S Africa, so no idea if he eventually took delivery.
I was on a salary of £20 a month (plus luncheon vouchers!), so just a heady dream for me - consoled myself with a string of ancient Minis, MG Midgets and an MGB before going to Hong Kong where I had a Triumph Stag for a few years. Hong Kong is not the most sensible place for any sports car, so, after 40 years of family friendly Mazdas there, retired, came back to UK and picked up my 2003 Plus 8. Now we just need the freedom to get out more!
