Since dealers often don't have one in stock, it's a different purchase experience. Anyone buy with getting behind the wheel? Anyone negatively surprised by the drive (not the passenger ride but the driving)? Seems everyone is enamored.

My first drive in one was in the one I bought when it was finally delivered! No test drive. Didn't care. Buying it anyway.
What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

I bought my first Plus 8 and I hadn't driven a Morgan at all as it was all I wanted. 12 years on after a 4/4 sport for 4 years I've been back in a Plus 8 for 2 years again this time to stay.

Likewise...i read about it then i saw one in the flesh for 5minutes while on vacation at a Bangkok mall in april, but i was 50/50 about it.Thought about it for a while & then i Ordered it in July. No regrets at all

I was able to see one before I started shopping the USA dealers websites for different colors and options. That's when I can across The Carrot, orange wonder.
Wife approved the orange color and I was in hook, line and sinker 😊
After watching all the on line videos of car guys drooling on the the 3 wheeler I know I had to have one, I'm that kind of car nut 👍
My first ride in the The Carrot was conformation x 10 😘

My dealer has their own Brooklands edition for test drives. Drove it for 10-15 minutes and had my checkbook out as we pulled back into the lot.

Saw the pictures, read Talk Morgan, wasn't put off, ordered it by email, didn't drive it until it was delivered to France. Never regretted it for an instant.
