Hand build, crafted as it was. Then we have an alternative, �50K for a well specified modern continuation of a 1950s model with a few changes. Also hand built and crafted as it was. It is a Morgan Plus 4 and it is incredibly good value for money. Peter, 66, 2016 Porsche Boxster S No longer driving Tarka, the 2014 Plus 8...

The SS was awful to drive , the steering was dreadful and the whole experience was disappointing for a 80,000 pound factory built car. Very nice to look at but I have driven better home built kit cars. The private owner kept it because he liked looking at it !!!!

Quite taken with this Alfa though I know what you mean.... The Alfa's from the 30's are impossibly beautiful. But, unfortunately, huge money. I've not had great success with vintage motors and prefer the 'turn key and go' that a Morgan has, whilst combining my affection for the Morgan/vintage shape. I'd have that Jag that Mike Hughes had though. +8 4.8

You're bang on the money there Neilda. I'd dearly love to own a real vintage car, but I can't be doing with all the hassle (I really don't have enough spare time). My 4/4 ticks most of the boxes for me (albeit with far better performance than almost any real vintage car than you could mention). Giles. Mogless in Paris.

I played with vintage bikes for a while, but as you say they are "high maintenance". They are wonderful to own but every ride is an adventure and you never really know if you will get to where you intend. They are mostly dynamically terrible and slow...! I love the vintage look and modern reliability/performance of the Morgan, just like Triumph's "New Bonneville" which I also loved.

Are you sure it was a Suffolk ? They're generally very well made and it's difficult to tell they're made of fibreglass. A friend owns one and although he likes it he doesn't rate it very highly dynamically. As an ownership proposition they're quite safe as they tend to hold their value well. Personally I'd rather have my �50k plus in a genuine classic. Yes definitely a Suffolk. In fact they bought it off me. 2002 Aero 8 S1 2023 Plus 4 (woman’s)
