It comes to us all in the end, but you will be surprised how resilient most people are when they put their mind to it. I slipped on icy steps December 2023 and seriously hurt my back. After a bit of convalescence I found I couldn't easily depress the clutch on my Roadster 4 seater with the higher seating position without considerable discomfort and the car steering was getting far too heavy at parking speeds. So sadly as much as we loved it, the Morgan had to go.
However within a short time, I was trying out 2 seaters as their seating position is lower and slightly further back, and after a long search I recently got OZZY my 2012 Plus 4 sport. The steering is lighter and the clutch easier to depress etc, getting in and out will still be a challenge. But with an eye for the future, I'm sorting out a removeable steering wheel, may get electric power steering (so Sue can drive it more easily) and so on because we missed the Morgan even though we have a modern convertible. We may use the trad. for the UK only and if we want to do continental tours again, I think an automatic CX will be on the cards in the not too distant future. If we keep the Plus 4 and not change to a CX, if time comes that it needs converting to automatic, which Sue prefers, then all things being equal we will get that done.
So whilst I had to let the Roadster go, I've still kept the Morgan motoring alive with a really nice Plus 4 and are prepared to make it more user friendly reflecting my changed abilities/status, than give upon it all. Best of luck with the journey home, the weather seems to be pretty good this week an excellent opportunity to enjoy it.
