After a short (4days) of 3.0 Roadster ownership cut short by an elderly gent emulating Prince Phillip I picked up from Morgan it’s replacement. 2017 3.7 ex factory demonstrator on Friday to coincide (not intentionally) with a change to Italian ownership.

Shame about the old Roadster, I hope it will be rebuilt by someone rather than consigned to the scrap heap.
I am sure the new one will meet your expectations and give you loads of smiles , that 3.7 engine is a very good unit.

Insurance was through Gott & Wynne and underwritten by Equity Ted Star as agreed value.... service was excellent and paid out in full as soon as classes a category B write off.
The service from the legal expenses insurance side and the personal injury was shocking ... to the point I sacked them both off and appointed my own local business solioto deal with recovery of loses.
I’m unlikely to be compensated for the time and effort to find the first car, the fact I’ve had to spend £10k more on the second. The holiday I booked in Edinburgh to celebrate the Morgan that I ended up doing in pain and in my Skoda ... etc
