Welcome indeed to the forum Francis, thanks for the detailed introduction and posting the image of your modified 911..
The first memory of Morgan handling I witnessed was on a wet night driving to work in the 70`s, I spotted what I thought was a trailer with suspension issues, as I passed it I was surprised to see it was a Morgan..! If comfort is high on your options list, then I suspect I would dismiss the idea of buying into a Trad Morgan with ladder frame chassis, cart springs on the rear, and sliding pillar front suspension... Though having typed that there are available modifications to the suspension and much else in varying degrees...Of course the newer CX Morgans are very different beasts and perhaps fit better with modern-day expectations of comfort and convenience..
Comfort was not high on my list when I thought a Morgan might be fit my desires in the mid 90`s, as I wanted a change more in line with a pseudo vintage driving experience having owned restored, maintained and run, quite a few varieties of Brit sports cars and air cooled Porsches too, in the form of a 912, and two 911`s, a 77 3 litre Carrera and an 82 SC. I went back to m/cycling for fun in my 50`s and then on to Morgan ownership in the form of a mid 80`s +8. Yeah ,one with the above described archaic suspension system, and although my good lady who was a keen driver never drove it as the clutch was too heavy and she was a bit under 5 ft tall, but she loved touring Southern Europe in the Morgan, and not only on smooth roads, indeed some rather rough roads were encountered from time to time..She also very much enjoyed driving our 991.1 in more recent times.
I have owned my Trad Morgan longer than any other vehicle, circa 23 years, and I am passed the half way mark in my 70th decade, I can still enjoy my Morgan`s surprising road holding and performance while roaring around the back roads, lochs and glens.. A Morgan is a real sports car demanding driver input on interesting and twisting back roads, whereas I suspect my 991 is more of a grand tourer, with sports car performance requiring digital management of it`s circa 400HP to encourage all those horses to maintain the desired course...
Bottom line for ME, is that enjoying the Morgan`s capabilities, more suits keeping within the speed legal limits on an interesting twisting stretch of Tarmac.
I have enjoyed my +8 more this year than I have enjoyed my C4S...
Hope you might find a Morgan that suits YOU BOTH Francis.
