Talking to a friend at a classic car show yesterday, we both have Morgan's and other classics, the subject came up regarding what open top car would we buy if the day comes that getting in and out of a Morgan was just proving too much for the old creaking bones. Hopefully quite a few years off yet but it set us thinking.
My first thoughts was a late 80's Mercedes SL. What else is there you might consider?

....what open top car would we buy if the day comes that getting in and out of a Morgan was just proving too much for the old creaking bones. I wouldn't. When/if the day arrives that I can't get in/out of a Morgan I don't think I'll be driving.

If all goes to plan then a mobility scooter. The M3W will then be hung on the wall :-)

A Mk2 Jaguar I think would suit me.

A 1950s Sunbeam Talbot Alpine for me please - but would probably need the addition of power steering and preferably floor gear change..

A Ferrari Dino 246 GT. To afford one I'd have to live in it - so it ain't gonna happen, but I did get to have a ride in one many years ago when a customer took me for a spin.
