Many thanks on the Brands Hatch tip and additional welcome's. Brands Hatch is indeed "better" located than Williams.
Although to be honest, any excuse to drive around the South East and the South West is always great for me :-p
Brands hatch current offering is a bit less interesting than Williams' IMHO, but i'll get in touch with them anyhow.
Ahhh Belgian Chocolate is definitely a diplomatic asset. I know what I should bring at meetings...
Unfortunately they are mostly located in the same spots in Brussels or Antwerp, meaning no roadtrip.
However a roadtrip around Trappist beers (Chimay, Orval, Rochefort, Westmalle,...) with some nice roads around that's a nice program!
Thank you for the kind proposition Dirk! Once it gets 100% concrete I'll be happy to have a look (don't want to take of some of your time for no reason).
I was not aware of Chantilly event Arts & Elegance Alastair, but definitely interested! I was at Lake Como Concorso d'Eleganza last year. Though there are far less cars than Chantilly (on paper), it is a great event and the roads around Lake Como are fantastic.
For the ones in the US, I also strongly recommend the Mullin museum near L.A.

Julien, welcome to TM from across the pond. The M3W is the most fun to drive and is what I own. The Morgan ARP4 would be my second choice and a Plus 4 my third.
They are all fun so get the one the will put a smile on your face at the end of the day.

I am curious to the black one to Jules. Did you already see the car in the flash?
On Mobile.de you can find several 4/4 Sport's with less kilometers then the one at Mechanicimport for a small amount extra.
I am looking also for a nice Sport but my budget seems to be more limited than yours.
I have send my wishes to some UK dealers but it is very quiet at that front.
Maybe my budget is to small with £27K or the cars are simply not on the market yet.

I like your Top 3 Timothy, unfortunately above and beyond my budget ;-) There's this is close to your budget Dax: https://allonwhite.co.uk/used-morgan-cars-for-sale-uk/2012-morgan-4-4-sport-black-st896 I don't have seen any recommendation on the dealer though. Many praises on Brands Hatch and Williams. Not yet seen the black at mecanicimport unfortunately,this week-end was busier than expected... I will probably go early February.

Allon White are good people. Very honest and straightforward to deal with in my experience. Gave me a better deal than another well known Morgan dealer and responded quickly - unlike the other one.

Yes that one comes close, but it was very rusty although it is a 2012 in a earlier advertisement.
I think this one had not have the tlc a Morgan deserves. And it is to far for me to have a look at it.

Best not to be in a hurry. Save up your cash. Take your time get the car you really want. The right deal and car will reveal itself in time. At least in the UK you have a dealer network and cars to choose from. Here across the pond we only have about a dozen dealers nation wide. And the dealers know it. :-(

Yep... a bit the same on continental Europe I'm afraid.

Stefan, You lucky guy... ;-) Really Nice setup and many thanks for the invite! Quite nice to see a few Belgians on this forum. I'm still early phase and could not visit any garage last week-end unfortunately. Probably week-end of Feb 4 I will visit Mecanicimport.com (to see the black 4/4) and make a quick ride to the classic remise in Dusseldorf, a place I highly recommend to any car enthusiasts. You can drink a nice coffee and wonder around fabulous cars. I suppose German members of this forum have already praised the place. My goal there will be to pay a visit to Morgan Flaving to see those two cars: Roadster S1: http://www.morgan-flaving.de/index.php?id=719Plus 4: http://www.morgan-flaving.de/index.php?id=693On the base everyone's contribution, I'm broadening a bit my options :-) Also the thread on the different Roadster versions was very helpful to understand the differences and subtleties.
