I've never kept a car for more than 4 years before, I've had Tarka for 7 years...
A number of reasons to think about changing... Partly it is an urge for something new and the joy of specifying and following the build of my Morgan.
I was also partly seduced by an offer from Motorway to buy my car at £69k, so based on my possible specification it would be £6k to change. But I don't believe that offer for a moment. Even so I've asked Henry if he could match it...
The drive back from Williams in the rain and dark was not at all enjoyable, even with LED lights. Worn road markings and mostly no cats eyes on the A36 didn't help one bit.
Then there is the cost of ownership, Road Tax, Servicing and Insurance, they add up to £1500 a year, without adding anything in for repairs. I reckon than in the last 12 months it has cost close to £2.00 a mile, all in.
But, as Neil has said, the sound is special, the PlusFour sounds good for a modern Turbo 4, but a V8 it isn't.
I may well just SORN it when it comes back from Williams...
SWMBO isn't supportive of changing for, as she put it, half a car.... so I suspect that I won't be changing.
