OK - so it is 4 years on, and I can confirm that my experience of BHM mirrors that described above.
I called up last week saying I would be in the area and was starting to research Morgans. 'come down and drive some' was the immidiate response. So I did - spent a delightful afternoon chatting and drove 3 cars within my price range.
I was shown around the workshop and spent 20mins chatting under a car on the ramp - looking at all the 1930s technology and loving it!
When was the last time you went into a garage and saw a lathe! Propoer engineers and real enthusiasts for the marque. When I crack open the piggy bank, I'll certainally head that way first!
Thanks to Sarah and Kieth for your help and encouragement. 10/10
