19 plate hi spec Plus 6 , hard and soft tops, Speedster wheels, sport and winter tyres, full Morgan history, 30,000 miles, offered £43,000 from a main dealer against a £75k lotus. Another dealer offered £45,000 against a £100,000 24 plate plus 6, and it’s no surprise that another dealer in North west, didn’t even want to PX it as he said market dead, no second hand ones selling, only brand fire new ones that are being bought by new to Morgan customers are selling.

I did ask If the higher milage had much to do with price. He said if it had 1000 miles on it, he still wouldn’t offer me much more.

I had that itch we often get after a couple of years!!

But my itch, not that itchy to take a 30k hit over 24 months.

May as well get back to enjoying it, by doing loads more miles in it without being precious, seeing as the proof is out there that it’s no better at residuals than a Vauxhall Vectra was in the 1990s.
