This is a refreshing thread. Like a few others on here, I find I am not going for a drive for the sake of a drive anymore. During the first few years of Morgan ownership I would find excuses to go for a drive yet now I find excuses as to why I shouldn't! Of late, I take it to the local coffee shop or pub for a quick drive to ensure it's not 100% sitting still and can't for the life of me remember the last long drive, bar the drive from Cheshire to Williams for my annual service.
I've thought about selling it and getting a CX but question whether getting something shinny and new would ignite the spark again. I've also looked at ordering a 718 again but here too I question the motivation. Both of these options would mean taking a loan which is perhaps what is putting me off. I had a Defender 90 a few years back and while it's by far not an A/B road cruiser, I did do green laning tours and find myself gravitating towards that again. As DaveW stated, for me a car has to have a purpose and be it age, car show-burn out, or simply lost my interest after almost 40 yrs of being car obsessed, I find myself at a crossroad on what to do.
Yet I still have it, give it a wash here and there even if its not needed, smile when I tuck him into the garage and wonder what next, if anything. It is the first car that I ordered as bespoke and one that I was fortunate enough to pay in full so perhaps that is the emotional attachment that is preventing me from parting ways.
