Here's a nice looking one, might be right for Jays to add to his collection, maybe that's what he will be doing on his visit down South West Plus 4 Looked at the car yesterday Adrian. Nice car as is the new Plus4 in their showroom in Ferrari Silver with Mulberry interior and matching body piping.

In response to PeterJ's post I see nothing wrong in 2000 miles a year. For a busy person who perhaps only has a Sunday to drive his/her pride and joy that is quite reasonable. I only average double that per year.

I only average double that per year. It's about my average over the last three years...less last year but that was due to the move/build and work.

I only live 14 miles from work, so it takes a good while to build up the miles, especially when I only go into the office a couple of times a week. I try to drive my Morgan whenever I can, and still only manage 4k a year.

Quite delightful, my favourite colour combination BUT only 17,000 odd miles in 8 years? That isn't 2000 miles a year! What was the car used for?
A Morgan is a car to drive, in my view: yes it is nice to look at, but surely that is only 20% of the joy of ownership?
Maybe that is all they wanted to, or could do? Seems a bit arrogant to criticise without knowing the details.  Each to their own!

There is a 2003 Aero S1 at Borghi that has only 11,200 km. One owner car only just run in. €68,200 PS. I just noticed that they also have a 2012 LHD Plus 4 Super Sport (No. 27) that has only 3,400 km.
