I agree wholeheartedly. It's strange, because to an outsider, they all look the same. I've had four Morgans since 2005 before I found the one I've been loyal to since 11 years and which now has 120,000 km on the clock, bought with 6,000 km, the only one of my five Morgans that wasn't new. You grow into a subject. I can say that I am relatively well versed in all kinds of Gibson Les Pauls and their years of manufacture, as well as many variants of the BBC LS3/5a. What appears to be the same from the outside opens up a world of differences, sometimes very clear and sometimes very subtle.
It's part of the great fun.
Heinz, first of all, congratulations on that impressive mileage! I am determined that my car won't be a garage queen, but as for various reasons (mostly not having a place to keep the car near where my flat is in Stockholm) I can only drive it during the summer, which means I will be unlikely to get there any time soon. But as for small differences, a few months ago I asked my wife to join me in admiring a car on the forum (it was Montegue's "Monty", if memory serves), and she, perhaps with her patience finally running a bit thin, said the Swedish equivalent of "for god's sake it looks just like all the other ones you've asked me to look at! What's so special about this one?" And for the life of me I couldn't really say. I think it has those brass hexagonal wheel nuts or something, but it just looked really nice to me even though I certainly concede that Mrs. A had a point. I reckon that as one becomes somewhat about something (whether it be Morgans, Les Pauls, BBC LS3/5as (which I had to Google) or the late abstract expressionists, the richness of nuance starts to emerge in a very interesting way.
