Julian I was most fortunate to have completed all the major tasks and fit out of the reworking of this palace a quite few years prior to the Covid effect on material costs. For sure the increase in regulation over the years when I was either knee deep in trenches and various stages through the build processes right up to fitting the ridge tiles and beyond that creating a fair sized raised patio, the regs seemed to ever tighten.
Seems here in the UK we have tightened regs to the extend that they have put a strangle hold on our economy, as to the possible long term effect on that is anyone`s guess..?
At the time of contemplating Which Morgan, I was leaning towards a 4/4 though ideally one that needed work and which I might fit a Ford Twink into in time, given that was the favourite engine of my yoof, having owned a couple of Elan`s thus powered.... By the time I had amassed all the advice kindly provided by very patient Morganeers interweb forums and with the efforts of GMG to find just the right Morgan for me... I ended up in a potential concours winning +8..... Go Figure as our American cousins might exclaim...? (-:
For sure the +8 was found to be a grand tourer during our European trips and the roar of the V8 with it`s attendant burble pops and bangs on the over run after a bit of heal and toe dropping down through the gears as opposed to using the brakes.... will ever be greatly enjoyed for as long as I can get in and out of the old thing... but I still suspect the 4/4 might be quite the most suited Morgan for UK B road fun.... More so with a twink and a pair of Webbers chortling away under the bonnet...(-:
Hope it is not too long before you can return to Morganeering Julian.
