Welcome Warren. Your friend will point you towards other local contact points for Morgans but also if you check out youtube you'll see Morgan runs from all over Europe featuring guys who look comfortable in their cars and are dimensionally similar to the figures mentioned. Please don't base any 'view or decision to buy' on the getting in or out for the first few times. It's a knack - or mission. You'll have already noticed this from the passenger side in your friend's car. The steering wheel complicates things a bit - but with focus, determination and a good engineer assisted by a strong and supple team .. all things are possible!

All joking aside, my mobility from time to time isn't perfect and I'm managing easily enough. Sure I spent the first few nights stuck in the car with a fire blanket and boveril Karen brought for me. The garage was warm enough and for the first time I was able to appreciate some of the lesser frequented areas of the house. Thankfully the remote electric garage door meant I could close myself in. Probably shouldn't have run the engine .. but the nurses say I'll be good to go in a week or so. Can't wait to get home!

As for your height, there is considerable leg room and that shouldn't be a problem. I found that, depending on my footwear, I sometimes felt I was catching the side wall liner off to the right of the throttle making it seem like there wasn't enough room down there (you can get your feet in but you can't walk around!)but changing shoes made a big difference, in fact, cured it completely. Like the guys say, there isn't a 'foot rest' but if you've an obliging partner and you guys are close, then there's always the passenger footwell. My size 9's have plenty of room but in fairness to the car, the flippers were a bad idea.

Go grab a Morgan and try it. It's really the only way to see if the car works for you. It will of course - but there's a world of difference between test-driving the car and operating it over a few days. You'll find you want to explore it more and more and for any number of weird reasons you'll invent errands that take you on roads you've driven past for years just because they had scenery and corners!

Enjoy the hunt. It's all part of the journey.
