I'm 52 and one of the youngest ones in my MSCC centre!  PS - it's not how old you are - it's how old it makes you feel. The answer for me is about 22 when I'm driving mine!

Roger is my separated-at-birth twin. I'm 52 too. I'm obviously the older twin thou coz I feel about 25 when driving Henrietta ! Cheers

At a guess from being at a few Morgan do's most Morgan 4 wheeled owners will be in their late 50's or 60's mainly because of two reasons
1. Having enough time, garage space and money without young children to drive, own and enjoy a car that isn't really practical as an everyday family car
2. Old enough to remember when Morgans where a really desired sports car marque in the mid 50's and 60's - Le Mans win in 68 etc
However there is definately a more recent and youthful non-conformist market and owners who desire a hand built British sports car that harks back to an earlier era
I felt 'youthful' at 47 but at 39 you will certainly be in a very small percentage of the Morgan owning demographic
The new 3 wheeler, speedster and Aero have definitely created a younger audience
And as everyone has said - you are only as young as the woman you feel
Oops sorry meant 'only as young as you feel'
Are you Speedstering up to MOG15?

I was 41 before I could accumulate enough spare cash to buy my Morgan, 15 years ago. Only two of my Morgan-owning friends are younger than me, the rest of them are retired. Fortunately they retain an appropriate mental age
