Well that seems a v good price for the buyer!

As for not being used much...well surely just the usual low cost recommissioning check list.

Nothing of effort or cost!

Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Hi Osten
Front tyres from MWS is probably the easiest Blockleys and they have an export sales phone number on the web page. Probably a good idea to get new tubes as well. Any tyre fitter shop that does spoked wheels will have no issues fitting them but it either needs a classic car shop to balance them with the correct cones for mounting the wheels on the machine or if the wheel bearings are well run in then you can take the mudguards off and the brake pads out and do them by hand on the car.
The back tyre you should be able to get something locally so long as you can get a mechanic to get the back wheel out , it's just an ordinary car radial. Most bike shops will be able to use a static balancer to balance them up; the hub is simiar in style to a bike hub with the bearings effectively in the wheel rather than on a stub axle.
The battery might well be past its best but I don't have any details here with me to point you towards a replacement; a bit of a forum search should come up with some alternatives to the original that have a bit more go about them.
Have fun!

Oh I'm all go about this. Its priced lower than the latest bring-a-trailer 3 wheeler. At that price and with an idle owner with more money than sense i'm all over this one.

Let's see what tomorrow brings but the 11th of June 2018 could be the day I finally succumb to the craze from Malvern.

Will not be able to sleep.

You can bet the vendor has been watching the BaT auction and would be keen to get out.

Just be very sure what you are buying in terms of updates and modifications with these.

Good luck and keep the updates coming.

Oh the owner is a social butterfly and has never heard of BAT or Talkmorgan he offered me that 30k$ . I think his only interaction with his cars is with a simple "call a man" mentality.

It is a late 2015 model with all the upgrades so the risk of facing an old ghost should be limited but not excluded (its a morgan after all).

The man has a warehouse with around 30 cars lying around un-driven (including an Enzo). Shame if you ask me.

Well now I am confused.
