I bought my car from a major Morgan Agent often praised on TM. It was supplied serviced and MoT’d. Supposedly. I immediately found several smallish but important issues which made me realised that all they had done was change the oil and mystified me how it had cleared the MoT without a blemish. Fortunately I was able to get it to the excellent Matty at Life’s who quickly sorted it and gave it a full health check.
It replaced my Lotus of twenty one years. That car was always serviced by me as I had little confidence in the Agents and not much more in some of the specialists.
I do do work on the Morgan myself but have it annually serviced by Life’s. Several reasons. Firstly, I have the impression that many Morgan owners are not really diy, although I accept that quite a few on TM are, and would be looking for stamps in the book when I eventually sell it on. Secondly, the Morgan wheelbase is just a couple of inches too long to fit on my garage lift system to enable best access for all aspects of a full service. Thirdly, having watched him work I do have confidence in Matty who has vast experience of these cars and is efficient and affordable.
