You may not kiss it JTL, but don't you rub it's tummy?

Zurallic Blue, if you can find it, is the best colour: looks black under a grey sky, but in the sun it sparkles blue. So it is both the fastest and the best dark blue.
If you were thinking Aston then you seem to favour power. Jay's is right, the 3.0L V6 is the optimal motor, more power than all but the last V8s, much lighter and sits well back behind the front wheels. It is also a torque monster, ask Jays for details.
If you want to be really evil try an Aero, a very different animal with almost 400bhp in a bonded alloy tub, modern suspension. You get all the modern car toys, auto if you want it. But they are a bit costly.
Where ever your thoughts take you from Essex I'd suggest a visit to Rutters near Chelmsford would be wise. The Wise Uncle there has forgotten more about Morgans than most of us know about them.
Oh yes, Welcome!

Its a funny thing, but all colours seem to look great on Morgans. I've just seen the polished Brooklands special and I like that as well.

Hi Ed. Green definitely the best colour and NO not unlucky - 26,000 miles in my 4/4 in last 18 months with just one problem (split radiator inlet pipe).
However, could I caution you against the Brooklands as your first car : it is a superb vehicle but if you're actually going to drive it that shiny shiny bonnet will have you weeping within a few months !
Lots of other green Mogs at a certain Horton based dealership last time I looked !
Cheers
Jeremy

Thats a really point, wouldn't have thought of that, but you're not going to put me off THAT easily.  Looking at the pre owned stock, there quite a bit to choose from and yet they don't seem to have depreciated too badly. If I was to take the plunge I think I would buy new as its not much extra cost and I like the way the company make a connection to the factory so you can see the car being made. I expect this has been asked many times before, but is it possible to get a discount for new? Sorry but I had too ask.
