5 years ago, the £ was weaker against the Euro than it is now

You make a fair point about the exchange rate Heinz. Thanks to the shift in exchange rates a brand new 4/4 in France is now €53 400 before extras.

Which makes a 5 year old one at €40K seem like good value, n'est ce pas ?

p.s. You have a point there about future Morgan buying Richard laugh2

In the meantime, it might also be a good lever for persuading swmbo that I might be allowed a motorbike again now that the offspring are both off the payroll.....


Good luck with the bike idea Giles, you still have the TVR ? if so maybe a new battery and re commission wink

I hope the rebuilding goes well for you and the good lady.

Er, yes I do still own the TVR, but I would need to find a way to break this piece of news to swmbo.

And I obviously won't be mentioning the whole bike idea until the building work is finished and I have a lovely tiled garage with nothing in it......

How funny Giles I hadn't realised that you had an "arrangement" with your TVR.

A tiled garage sounds very swish I'll bet you can't wait for the project to be under way now, something nice to look forward to a nice motorbike at the end of it all.

I'm only kidding. swmbo does know I still own it, & likes to remind me of said fact when running through her list of all the things I need to sort out.

In truth, the only reason I didn't get on & sell the Tiv it is that it's worth diddly squat.

Lets hope they start increasing soon it maybe worth hanging on a wee bit more.
When everyone is batteried or hydrogen the big bangers will become the forbidden fruit I think and The Beast of Turin will be at the top of the pile breathing fire at everyone.

I do hope you won't abandon us altogether, you don't have to own a Morgan to be on TM!
