Happy birthday to my Plus 4. Ten years ago Mrs FT and myself picked up our brand new Plus 4 from Bell and Colville in Surrey and drove it back to Luton. Lots has happened in that ten years: retirement (both of us), Covid, moving to Suffolk, and getting a motorbike again have been particularly salient happenings. The Morgan has been with us throughout and I've become very attached to it. No modifications (yet), still just a standard car. If I'm honest it hasn't really cost a lot to run which has been a bonus. I'm a low mileage Morgan owner, most of our mileage being done in other vehicles - 19,000 to date although I'm doing a lot more now running around with the rather wonderful group of Morgan owners I found here in Suffolk. Tempted as I am by the CXs, I think the Plus 4 is a keeper as it does the job and holds a lot of memories and history now despite its young age. Sadly, the eponymous donor of my avatar, Amy Johnson the Fox Terrier, passed away last year ending that chapter in our lives but she did have a fabulous life and an easy end. I'll keep the name in her memory.

Here's a photo of Mrs FT driving the Plus 4 through Windsor Great Park on 5th November 2015 on our way home from picking it up.
