Always go see the car and drive it, pictures do not always tell the full story and often mask/mitigate areas like corrosion. I have seen the Morgan in your above link and walked away.
Whilst Morgan trad prices are soft at the moment, from experience there are Morgans available at what seem bargain prices, which may in the end finish up costing you more than you expect, beware of false economies. Morgans can prove to be very reliable, but they are maintenance intensive to keep them that way, and unless you are hands on it can get expensive. For example:-
I drove 350 miles in the last 2 days and back home when washing the car one of the 3 drivers side screen fixing screw and washer came off in my hand, checked them both sides I had lost one on the passenger side and the remaining 4 screws were all loose and about to fall off. Had they done so, my side screens would have detached themselves. Never had it happen before, but another thing for the regular check list. just like the wiper body securing screws, manage to unscrew themselves and the wiper takes a hike, even when not used.
