Bought my first one at 45, Aero 8 S3, now 53 and about to increment once more.
Bought my second one at 50, M3W, which is fund at half the speed, but I only want to cover 1/10 the distance before getting out.
Perhaps, at 55 next summer, I should be looking to get a new Aero 8 - we'll see! Depends on some financial investments moving in the right direction...
Hope to buy my last Morgan at about 75, so this will remain newish until I'm about 80 after which I will clean them more and drive them less and less I guess.

Bought my first Morgan, a 1972 signal red 4/4 4 seater in 1978 at the age of 23; my 1976 Plus Eight that I still own was bought in 1981 when I was 31. I'm now rising 61 years of age!

And you don't look a day over 45! Owning Morgans must keep you looking young

Ha, you oleaginous flatterer Stewart!
And yes, Morgans keep one fitter and younger! Personally, I've never grown up mentally - long may it stay that way. There are too many years to be spent as an old bugger!

My dad took me to see a Morgan he was restoring. I was about 7 yrs old. Loved it. At 56 I decided I would buy one....5 yrs ago. Trawled the dealers online, saw one at Allon Whites. Showed  who was non commital. Arranged to see her and test drive( car not ) and did the deal. Upped to a plus8 about 2 years ago. Superb decision. has grown to enjoy Morganeering too, but put her foot down when I fancied a lovely S1Aero........  Mind you, the +8 is growing on me as time goes. I feel like a 21 yr old.....anyone know where I can find one?
