Hey Howard.... not being provocative, but haven't you decided yet? Strikes me that you like the idea of a Morgan, but then keep comparing it to Porsche or Jaguar. There's really no point in making that comparison month after month. Buy something to drive, not as an investment. If you want a euro box, buy a Porsche, you won't be disappointed.

You buy a Morgan with your heart, not your head. It's apparent that Howard is a head buyer, hence the analysis, and rationalisation. I'm not sure that I've come across anyone with a Morgan who bought one this way. All have made an emotional purchase and few seem to have considered much else.
When I bought my first Morgan, nothing else was considered!

When I bought my first Morgan, nothing else was considered! Absolutely. To the point that it doesn't matter if there isn't enough money in the bank next week as long there was enough to buy your Morgan today!

mic case. I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that I can either have a dynamically good modern car ( F type, Porker) and high depreciation or a car like the Aero that is less good dynamically but holds its value. The only way of putting together good dynamics and low depreciation seems to be

By the way I do "get" the Morgan thing. I can understand why you guys like them so much. I am just not convinced that a trad is the car for me.
Howard, I have a series 4 you can try out if you like. I have a series 5 on order.
