Cheers for the comments - she really is a beauty. Sadly after a couple of weeks of ownership I'm not sure if Morgan ownership is for me  Sure, it's stunning to look at, rare, quirky and with just 9k miles in fabulous condition but it's not what I want  Shame. Where can one get a supersport , presume its a hens teeth situation ? Now we know where Madmax can get a Supersport Pistonheads ?

Did her Maj mind you parking on her driveway?  Well spotted Tim, you're not supposed to park here for photos or anything else, but early-ish in the morning it seems the security guys are on a tea break - job done! 😇

I recognised it because the British Llama Society used to be allowed to take their llamas for a walk around the park once a year.
I don't know if they still do it, since TB has spread so widely we now no longer take our llamas away from home to avoid the risk of infection.

Thanks for your comments. I'm not entirely sure why I'm not gelling with the car? I love the looks, rarity, sense of occasion, basey exhaust note, the performance... For me, there's just something missing. It could be as simple as the lack of interacting with a manual box? I've put an advert in the classifieds - just awaiting approval. I'm just gutted that after 9 month of searching and looking at a few to find "the one" that its still not for me  Originally I was after a Wiesmann GT MF5 but gave up waiting as they appear to be rarer than rocking horse poop. Any thoughts on what I could try next as I'm out of ideas? Perhaps the most sensible thing would be to stick with the car and enjoy some sunny drives and see how I get on with her?  Lovely Supersport - if I didn't have a Max already, would be making enquiries with you to purchase. Really think you should give it a bit more time, Morgans can take a period of acquaitance to grow on you. They offer a different experience to most all modern cars and is more akin to a new classic car. Of course if missing the interaction of manual gearbox is the root cause, your feelings may not change perhaps. I find the gearbox in auto mode is quite lazy and most of the time drive it in manual mode. Brings the car alive. Despite running a couple of GT 911's, I still always look forward to a drive in the Max and don't need to drive it fast to enjoy it, albeit it's quick enough when tap into the V8. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I was reading the advert. One thing made me curious: Toolkit in leather bag Unfortunately I do not have that  Does anybody have any closer pic of it and some more details on what it should contain?

Never been keen on these as they don't handle and are rather bling for my taste. Surely L33 you should wait for the new TVR as there's no doubt that that will be a driver's car (in the meantime a Caterfield should give you some amusement ...

Long leather bag about 2 foot long. Contains a jack and a few other bits although didn't I look closely enough. I'll dig it out tonight and take a pic of the contents for you.
