Bill, me too, I was buying privately and could well judge just how much care and attention Kevin, had put into what was to become my Morgan, that when offered to drive it I declined, and he took me, then my good lady out for a short run in it..... no bargaining required, I was hooked....Good move re trying it out on track with an instructor.. Hope your Morgan might provide as many years of enjoyment. From that which I have recently read, if you intend wearing a helmet, it might be worth finding the lightest weight yet strong helmet you can find...
Good luck in your choices..
