I was looking for a project car for circa five years from about 1996, having spent circa a year on the MSCCDG researching the possible reality of Morgan ownership and related ...err...foibles thereof, of which there seemed to be quite a few... (-:
In the nineties it seemed that UK industry was still in the process of going through de-layering and downsizing, spitting many folk out of their jobs aged from their mid fifties onward. Now with lump sums and pension incentives many of them were then looking for retirement projects, markets operating as they do, equated to an imbalance in the "market" value of any Morgan or parts thereof. All of which created a situation whereby I ended up buying a concours condition Morgan given the cost of buying a tired old Morgan seemed to have become ridiculous. Of course that was my personal perspective and could be entirely flawed.
As for cat and pre-cat... there is a lot to be considered there to, but with a degree of experience in the repair and maintenance of my old sports cars over many a year, a pre digital pre cat Morgan was for me a far simpler proposition and over the years worked out rather well .. (-:
