Having owned a Spitfire Mk1 in the early 70's it was always my hope to return to a traditional British sports car at some point. The opportunity arose in 2008 and, at the time, I was looking at the likes of MG and Triumph. Morgan never crossed my mind, however I remembered passing a dealership in Borough Green so thought i'd have a look. BHM had a three year old Plus 4 for sale, which I was very interested in. I took it for a test drive, and was smitten!
I'd heard about the long waiting list for new builds so, although I had the money, didn't give it a thought until Sarah mentioned they had a build-slot available and I could have a new one within 5 weeks. Well, that was it! I specced out the car over the next couple of days and the order went it. 5 weeks later I was the proud owner of a Monterey blue Duratec Plus 4.
I'm now on my second Morgan having traded in the original in 2016 for another new Plus 4 - this time a metallic red Gdi. This one is a keeper.
