Thanks for the reply. It re-enforces what I’ve been thinking. I moved on from my paddle shift Lotus as I missed the engagement of a manual gearbox which to be fair I get from the 997 which has to be the most complete vehicle. However my extremely raw and carburettor fed Ural and sidecar handle terribly, but give 110% satisfaction when you get it right. Your comments support the idea that a Morgan will be an engaging drive, but hopefully useable enough for longer journeys and yes have been in touch with Fellmog.

Being fun at legalish speeds really matters to me. We’ve just returned from a month tour of the Spanish Pyrenees in our motorhome where it was clear that the curse of the speed camera is Europewide and the ability to have fun under 70 mph is the future. I have to say we passed 3 Morgans on the trip and the roads were incredible with many fantastic hotels for those not in a motorhome.
