The owner of Tarka, Ian, lives in the depths of the New Forest, at God's Hill. Since he bought Tarka in the spring it has been a daily drive and he remains captivated. BUT...
Parked outside a friends house in the forest the car was attacked by a horse......yes, a 500kg horse.
It damaged the front O/S wing, running board and silencer, rear wing and rear quater panel. Morgan has quoted £12k.
BUT....they can't fix it until February, as they don't have any front wings....
The horse has insurance, so not a problem, just an inconvenience.
This must be a unique way to damage a Plus 8.
He clearly is a quicker driver than me as he has had the car on a number of tracks and has seen 140mph....
He criticised the rear suspension at speed the travel is reduced and so it bottoms out at speed over quite small bumps.
It is good to know he is enjoying the car as much as we did!!
