Hi all,
I've just joined though I've been a Morgan owner for six years. It's a blue 4/4, 2001 vintage. Having recently retired we're taking timeout to do some touring mainly in the UK but perhaps further afield as well.
It's funny the emotions it generates. A group of Chinese tourists took countless photos of it, a guy in Le Touquet rushed out into the traffic to get a closer look and nearly got himself run over and a woman in a local car part kissed it!
The 4/4 is fairly standard, bought used from Mark at BerryBrook, but a recent visit to the factory resulted in a set of overriders to replace the bumbers that are coming off (did that to a Frog- Eyed Sprite as well many, many years ago). The staff in the spares department were most helpful. Took the factory visit as well - fascinating, even my wife enjoyed it.

Welcome Mark, love your stories of the reactions you've had from the public. That could be the start of a whole new thread?

Thanks all for the welcome. I think a 'reaction upon seeing a Morgan' thread might be fun. The Chinese tourists I encountered in Woodstock clearly had not seen one before and were astonished to hear they were still being made by hand today.
To Peter in Italy. I know the area slightly as I used to windsurf on Lake Garda - beautiful part of the world - my wife and I were just talking the other day about making a return visit to our friends in Malcesne.

Living no more than 6 miles from Woodstock I can relate to the responses from foreign tourists which are so positive. My car was also supplied used from Mark at Berrybrook, stopped on the way back from a break in Devon in our previous 4/4 4 seater and succumbed, as you do. Have you joined MSCC and attended any of the OXMOG events yet?
