Talk Morgan Forums Community Welcome Forum Hello from Prague

Very nice Morgans indeed Jari! Wellcome to TM. I'm curious about the pre-production silencers on your M3W. And a +4+ is always interesting. Nice blue color!

It must be lovely to have a +4+ Jari. I still miss mine - the 22nd one built. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoyed mine.

Hello Andrew, I know a little bit about the 22nd car. When I bought mine, it was told me, that the Morgan dealership helped also to sell another one +4+ to Germany some 3 years ago. I have found out also that it was an Oxford blue +4+ from 1965, which is the 22nd built.

P.S. It's really lovely, I was so lucky I could find one!

Welcome to the forum. I recognise your avatar, I was there in the summer.

Yes, it was really taken there That had to be a nice and long trip with your Mog!

It's been in the Czech Republic many times. Lovely country!

Thank you, it really has some nice places for oldtimer trips here. The popularity of classic rallyes and other trips begins to rise here. I have heard there should be a big european Morgan meeting here with a trip to Brno circuit in the next year or something like that. I have to find out more information at the czech dealership.

We should have known there was a Morgan agent in Praque.
We did a roadtrip with 8 morgans in the Tjech rep. last august.
A great country for Morgans.

Hi Jari - tell us how you became interested in Morgans - they are rare in the UK so must be a very exotic in the Czech republic - how did you become aware of them?

I inherited this passion from my father, who is a big car enthusiant, especially for classic cars. I still remember that when I was very young, we went to all classic cars meeting in the former Czechoslovakia with a Praga from 1913 and I also remeber that he told me that his biggest dream is a Morgan +8. It was in the middle of the 80's, but I still remember it all very clearly. My other memories on Morgan are from the movie War of the Roses that I saw in the early 90's and we also collected car models in the 90's in the 1:18 scale with a few Morgans

This passion returned to me a few years ago with the introduction of the M3W. I loved it at the first sight and I went to the Geneva Motor Show to see it on my own. When I saw it I knew at the moment that I will buy it. A new dealership started near Prague so I went there to ask how long is the waiting period for M3W. And they told that they have a pre-production M3W to promote it in the Czech Rep. and after a series of promotion activities they sent it back to the factory to change the engine, the wheels and so on and they will offer it in a week for sale. So I bought it the next week.

Then I started to read everything about Morgan, so I found the +4+ and again it was a love at the first sight So I had to buy it when I got the opportunity And now the +8 remains to fulfill also my father's dream. My new Morgan dream is the SLR or the one-off Morgan Special Sports Racer. But I have to earn more money for a few more years and hope that anyone from the current owners would want to sell one of them in the future

So the passion started long ago, but it became a mania in the last years
