What a shame, that S5 hasn't been driven in over a year and a half. They're both beauties mind.

Even sadder for the ASS, 2015 and 110km. Difficult to sell in many ways I would have thought? Not ultra-desirable enough just to store for investment, but as soon as it used the value will plummet and nightmare of debugging will likely be required.

Will, is this the beginning of a realisation by collectors that many car collections contain cars that have peaked in value, and the only way is down?
I've long believed that the classic car market has been overheating for far too long and cars like the 2 Morgans are not really that collectable.
Both need to be put on the road and used, in my view.

It would probably be impossible to register either of them in Europe now unless the factory could be pursueded to release a CoC stating that the car was a Euro 6 compliant. Impossible for the Super Sport and perhaps just possible for the S5.

they're both part of a huge collection - youngtimer - which is being sold off at 3 auctions this year. There's 100+ cars. I saw an article Top Gear mag (not something I normally read - it was the best freebie of a bad bunch on a long flight)
Apparently the collector wants to start again!

Basically buying a new Morgan with no warranty. Only for the brave and definetly not worth a premium in my opinion.

"collector wants to start again"
or realises market is dropping so best to sell off, then buy up again at lower prices.
