Hi there,
My name is Andy and I live in Worcestershire. I am new to the forum and new to Morgan. I have very recently purchased my first Morgan, a +4 built in 1999 with the Rover T16.
In the past I have owned a few cars worth mentioning on the forum which were 2 MG Midgets, an Austin Healey Sprite, 2 MGB GT, all of which I thoroughly enjoyed and upgraded, one of the great pleasures owning such a vehicle is that of being able to tinker about in the garage with them and go out driving just for the sake of driving pleasure. After the last GT I bought a TVR S3 with the Ford V6 which I loved but having always wanted a V8 rumble I sold it and bought an early Chimeara followed more recently by another and although they are fantastic and exhilarating to drive, nowadays it's not a car I could really use to anywhere near its capabilities without taking it to a track day, a car that always beckons you to go faster.
I have always wanted to own a Morgan but a tad out of reach financially, I looked at a 4/4 in 2014 from a private seller but when he opened the garage door I was expecting a gleaming shine on paint and bright work but was disappointed to see a dull unpolished red so walked away and spent my money on my other hobby a narrowboat.
Three weeks ago a lot of fuel was put on the Morgan ownership fire when I was given 2 tickets for a factory tour in payment for some work I did.
Really enjoyed the tour and 3 weeks later I own a Morgan and have not stopped smiling since.
In between paying a deposit and picking up the car I have read virtually every post in the maintenance and service section that I felt relevant and have gleaned so much info from the posts that were there all written by Talk Morgan members.
So it's hello from me and a big Thank you to you.
Looking forward to enjoying some quality tinkering and some driving out just for the pleasure of driving.
All the best
Andy.
Andy.

Welcome on board Andy.
My 4/4 is of the same vintage so there should be some similarities.
Not the engine, obviously.
