At a guess from being at a few Morgan do's most Morgan 4 wheeled owners will be in their late 50's or 60's 37 and had mine at 34....proved you hypothesis!!  Sample bias Stewart. What you are observing is the self-selecting subgroup that opt to go to organised events (and has the time to indulge such hobbies) not the overall demographic of ownership. You will find the younger generation eschew organised events, especially anything MSCC. ps bought my first at age 45

I'm 52 and one of the youngest ones in my MSCC centre!  PS - it's not how old you are - it's how old it makes you feel. The answer for me is about 22 when I'm driving mine! Roger is my separated-at-birth twin. I'm 52 too. I'm obviously the older twin thou coz I feel about 25 when driving Henrietta ! Cheers Absolutely, with matching twin Morgans also born 2 years apart!

Age is a interesting subject. The UK and the US differ because of availability and the laws of supply and demand. I bought my first 4/4, new, at 25. My only car. At that time I was the youngest in my club. But now I am retired and 59. (I specifically retired early to play with the cars.)
Cheers,
