Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Trad prices ..versus owners dreams..

For some Morgan owners who bought their cars many years ago, they may still see an increase in the sales value over their initial purchase price . But then if you take the inflationary impact in the intervening years reduction in the purchasing power/value of their initial purchase price ie what it would buy today compared to what they could have bought when they made the purchase, they may not being doing that well. Although in real terms they got back more money, eg fifty years ago, I could buy a sliced loaf for 7.5 p, I certainly can't buy a loaf for that today.

That's also ignoring the forgone earnings/ interest that would have been earning on capital if put elsewhere.
