Just to add that the Vehicle Registration Tax here in Ireland on an Aero Chassis car is 35% of what the revenue decide the market value of the car is --- so about €40,000 - makes such a car a lottery win purchase!!!!!!!!!
Would "almost" make me want to emigrate - but then I realise we are still in the rugby World Cup!!!!!!!!!! At least till to-day anyway!!
I'm surprised that there is anybody still living in Eire with those taxes and what with the price of Guiness
The trips sounding great Brian....very envious and it certainly beats standing around a freezing cold shopping mall promoting Morgan. You can tell Steve that!

What was the reaction from people at Bicester?
Huge amount of attention and some interesting comments. The usual wood chassis came up a few times as did "what a great restoration". Also a few asked if it was an early Aston...because of the badge...even though the badge has "Morgan" on it! Most had never heard of Morgan. Mind you, most of the visitors at Bicester Village are either Chinese (we provided brochures written in Cantonese) Arabs, Gypsies or people who only read fashion magazines. Interesting differences in culture...many of the Chinese asked permission to photograph the car, the Arabs let their kids clamber all over it whilst the gypsies....all who seem to model themselves on the TV series Big Fat Gypsy Women...were very polite and asked lots of questions...problem was I couldn't understand most of them! Helping the girls into the car with tight skirts was.....interesting. My first customer was the best....rather nice lady from London whose father had a Morgan when she was a child. Spent ages chatting to me...I got her life story...the fact she was now single..several times...and questions about my marital status....I should have taken the bait
Jays Former Morgan owner. Gone but hopefully not forgotten!
You know it makes sense!
