Howard, if you like her, give her a try.
I must say that 2010 seems to be a very good built year. My last of three Roadster was a 2010 as well. 3.0, wider front than the years before, never had a break down during 16.000 happy miles.
You get plenty of leg room (in scales of the Morgan world) much more than in a 3.7 and even a bit more than in my now 2014 4/4. Power never was unsatisfying, perhaps the first and second gear could be a little bit "longer" but this is a very minor issue because you will ride most of the time in the excellent matching third up to fifth gears. And what was a difference in my view in comparison with the 4/4 is that if you buy a 4/4 you can (or should) make her a drivable car after the purchase (which is a source of fun on it's own) but the 3.0 Roadster is a turn key ready to drive car, also concerning the suspension etc.
I would like to add that the 3.0 Roadster is a very good choice to enter the Morgan world.

Go get it Howard!
I remember being impressed with a Maroon and Ivory Morgan and trailer. It was at Canterbury MOG if memory serves me right.
The car and its matching trailer, which was fashioned out of the rear of a four seater (I think), inspired my choice of colours. Does anyone know what happened to it and/or the trailer? Any pics would be appreciated.

That equipe was formerly owned by Richard Rebain from Northern Ireland. He fell out of love with his mog having spent a fortune on the trailer, I inderstand (correct me if I'm wrong) that the trailer and car were sold seperately. Spanner juggler knew him better than me so he may know more.

I recall it as a Plus 8 and the car with trailer was at Brands Hatch Morgan at Canterbury Mog.. It didn't sell as quick as I expected.

I have been toying with having my wings resprayed in Mulberry, but like a lot of things there is a big queue of things equally seeking cash!

Meanwhile your red Italian motor sits in its warm garage and life ticks away so quickly...
Just saying !!!!
No it doesnt. Its sits in Dick Lovetts Swindon garage for its annual service and its my bank account that ticks away quickly.
