Something similar for me since the heart attack just after getting the P4SS.
I genuinely thought that all the work I had done to this car would make it my long term and perhaps last Morgan I couldn't think of any Morgan I would like more .
wrong! ! ! ! the ARP4 at Silversone was a surprise no more of a shock that it should be so different.
So P4SS is going I hope to someone who will appreciate what I have done to it .
I will be having power steering on the new one ,225 tyres will make it quite heavy I'm sure and the wife will drive it now that it has a proper hand brake.
Her short arms meant she disappeared under the dash at every junction so put her off driving.

Great decisions all of you, I really do feel a little envious. If there was only a little more room in the back of the two seater, I would have sold a kidney to get one. Well, maybe not a kidney, but certainly the Caterham.

I spoke to a painter at a BMW workshop re Matt paint ,his advise was to avoid it .
Hard to maintain ,touch up scratches and bird lime problems plus paint match so metallic gloss it will be but not sure what colour.

Another vote against matt paint, it doesn't age well and it deprives owners of the joy of polishing....
Mercedes supply very costly paint care products with their matt finished cars. I was told that to use any other voids the paint warranty, as does going through a car wash.
