Over the years, on Talk Morgan, there have been a number of conversations regarding the ideal year of Plus 4, Plus 8 and 4/4. In general, these questions have centred around ease of use, reliability or, more often than not, budget.
However, I'm interested to know what the mechanically inclined believe to be the ideal model for the driveway novice mechanic to maintain?
Is there a sweet spot in terms of years where someone with basic tools and even more basic knowledge, can maintain their Morgan and do most jobs without having to resort to visiting a mechanic or requiring specialist equipment?
As we all know, Morgan gradually made changes to each model over the years and my guess is opinions will vary based on experience, mechanical know-how and length and breadth of tool-chest!
I was asked this question recently, by someone looking to purchase a Morgan; the end goal was to find one he could maintain with his teenage children and ultimately was as much about that experience as it was driving it.
Would be interesting to hear how the far more mechanically inclined would answer that question.
