I bought my 2012 in 2014 - It was on eBay but through a dealer - The car had every option available at the time but no mods were available at the time and It came up in at over £35,000 new I didn’t click. Some months later it came back up through the same dealer in the same way having to be ‘got rid of’ because ‘the wife told me to!’ So I stepped in & she was a few thousand less than my first eBay visit so I almost clicked instantly.
So how did I come by M3W 0162?
I looked into & missed out on getting a Harley powered JZR in 2006, then talked about getting an Ace brought over but it was simply out of the question when they’d only built 3 of them, but I was hooked. - I revisited the Seattle Ace Liberty Motors Seattle web page a few years later only to see it had moved across to Morgan as a licensed dealer. So now I’m back looking at the Morgan site & the launch of the M3W back in 2011/2012 and ever so happy. Unfortunately at the time, there was no way could I afford the off the shelf price of the M3W but as a used option then it was now in the realms of being affordable and on a second take on 0162 with a lower offer on the already lowered price we were in.
I told my other half Het that there was a delivery coming which she’d have to sign for & went to work, then waited for the call & photos to come in. Stand by Stand by!
It has been the most stress/most fun car I’ve ever owned & it still remains a challenge - I call it the problem child that lives at home, but because of our M3W quirky little sports car we’re in the company of some fantastic people and have traveled and toured visited and shown the car across Europe. End of an era indeed.
