When I bought my then mid 80`s +8, all be it restored at 8k miles to concours condition, it took me 5 years of savings to purchase it in 2002 for circa £20k.... At the time and for quite a few years on, It would have been thought of not only as my hobby car, but as the first thing to be sold IF for any reason we might have hit aa sticky patch... Thus it was also considered as an asset to be converted back to cash if need be, and at that time Morgans were holding or improving their value in varying degrees.. Fortunately the need to sell has not arisen to date and hopefully never will... fingers crossed.
What would £20k buy back in 2002... I suspect a nice air cooled 911, which would be in excess of whatever my Morgan might be today....As for my assessment of the returns both real and potential on my Morgan...Hmm..? Primarily It provided a degree of security in terms of the ability to convert it back to cash, other than that it provided returns by way of adventures driving through Southern Europe, and various days out over the years...as well as the great pride in owning such a special machine, what`s more to want...?
