Hi Kenny
Like you I bought my first Morgan (in 1986) never having driven one, and having only sat in one for a few minutes. I'm now on my third new one!
Gets you, doesn't it?
Enjoy (i'm certain you will).

Good shout Max. I'll check them out. Is it a Morgan factory part? Only if you really feel the occasional lying on the ground is not you! Oh, and no, not factory AFAIK. Still need to lie under front every two or three greasing sessions just to check around all the nuts/bolts &c. Suspension is firm - things can and do loosen off. Also, the first time you are under there, fit some tubing to keep the road crud out of the lower (rebound) spring / bottom of kingpin area

Welcome to the forum Kennyh.
For the remote greasing kit, check out "the nipple company" yes really, they sell specific kits for the top and bottom grease points on Morgans.

Enjoy (i'm certain you will). Thanks John. Not worth driving before you buy is it? If you don't like it you'll never own one And thanks Graham for the techie tips. I'll keep things sweet I hope!! Great info.!!

Welcome Kenny, and to another refugee from Blatchat. I have a suspicion that you have to be a certain age before you appreciate a Morgan for what it is, also to get the Caterham thing out of the system. I still have a Seven in the garage, sitting alongside my Mog, in case I have a relapse and need a dose of adrenaline every once in a while, but generally the Morgan does it, and what's just as important, my wife loves it, whereas on the few occasions she ever went out in the Seven she hated it with a passion. I hope yours likes it as much.
I look forward to your entertaining posts over here now.
Paul
