I got it since I was 12 so it I was a dumb move on our part thinking we could just 'look'! But life is too short.... Too true. I always WANTed a Morgan. But the minute I drove one that want became a HAVE TO HAVE. So many other people have the same experience. I don't know how they do it, but if you test drive one you'll buy one. Adrian B Green 4/4

OP zoros New to Talk Morgan Z Joined: Oct 2014 Posts: 7	Drove up to Southport today and spent some time with the MD of Life's Morgan. What a nice and very knowledgeable man! Learned a lot and I got the impression he knows more about Morgan's than most dyed in the wool aficionado's! Sat in three different types and had a good old look around. He talked me thru the Plus8 pro's and con's and also suggested my best bet was a Roadster for all round improved Morgan experience? I must say - even after my TR4/Stag/Lotus Europa days - the Morgan appears very agricultural Nonetheless I will save my decision until I spot a Roadster and take one for a spin. It's not over until the dimensionally challenged Lady sings!!!

You really need to get some time in driving them....they may not be the car for you. Or you may get it and fall for their charms! Good hunting. Jays Former Morgan owner.

It might be an idea to hire the +4 from Oakmere for a couple of days and seeing how you feel about the general experience. Roger Mogless in Cheshire.

I've owned Morgans for over a decade And I still smile when I crank my current machine up. Not entirely sure why!

Had 5 years of a 1994 3.9Ltr, then a 5 year period of totally different fun in my 4/4 Sport, forced into changing in June this year so back on track with a 1999 3.9Ltr so that's why you buy a Morgan you just love them. If you don't I wouldn't bother buying one because you will not cope well with the little foibles that occur every now and then. 2009 4/4 Sport Henrietta 1999 Indigo Blue +8 2009 4/4 Sport Green prev 1993 Con Green +8 prev

After children have flown the nest ! I am always excited driving it. Love the gamble of dodging those rain clouds which means many of my journeys go to places I never intended to go to! But that is what ownership is all about. The fun is also in the search for the Mog of your choice. Enjoy!
