...after 25 years driving Landrovers I just ordered my first Morgan... Welcome and congratulations! I'm thinking that you may notice a slight difference in the driving experience...

Thanks for your replies...I've ordered a green one (Le Mans).
My last 6 cars have been 110's and one of the new Discovery's but that felt like I was driving a computer.
Owning a Morgan has been a childhood dream (a long time). Now it's ordered I will have to take my mind off it by emptying the garage in readyness (no small task...panel saw, sliding overhead saw, sanders etc. I live on the outskirts of Edinburgh and will be using the new car every day (rain or shine) to travel to work. My only concern is that the Sport has no 'rack' facility as yet. I will wait to see what they come up with.

If Morgan don't offer a rack, I imagine one of the companies such as Simmonds could manufacture one for you.

good to hear you will be using it everyday.. I am a student at St Andrews but live in Perthshire, and use my Morgan as my main and only car.. It is fun but can be tiring but would a new one would be easier to live with..
Interesting you chose RPM. I was very impressed with them and wish them the best. Russell seems very switched on and passionate. It is unlikley that Thomspon & Potter will continue for much longer now as a Morgan dealer..
Will
