Hello from Norway, and you are most welcome to this community! Congratulations with your new car. A few pieces of advice:
Drive your car a lot, get to know it.
Do not indulge in all kinds of mods and upgrades until you know what you and your car really needs.
Join a local Morgan owners club.
Explore the websites, I suggest GoMog and Morganatica in addition to this site.
Open up the hood, study the engine bay. In a Mog you can really see what is where, and acutally understand what is going on, as opposed to a modern car.
Get a good grease gun (I suggest a used Wanner from eBay), start greasing the king pins, which is extremely important and gives you opportunity to know the car from beneath.
Check your tyre pressure, important for comfort. As a Mog is a very light car, the pressure could/should be low, around 24 psi.
Take your time. Handling, comfort etc. etc. is not like a modern Golf or Toyota, but the whole driving experience is wonderful and will grow on you with time.
Good luck,
Robbie

Hi Mike.
Cheers from France.
Welcome in the "family"!
Just one advice from my side: enjoy your car as much as you can. More you drive it, better it goes.
Wish you great fun.

And I forgot: get good clothing!! Wind proof jacket, leather helmet, good scarf or "buff", goggles, gloves or gauntlets. If you have a better half, it is a perfect way to destroy her experience getting getting wet and/or cold - same goes for the driver, in spite of the generally bigger tolerance. Put a woolen blanket in the back, nice for covering up the legs while driving. Not much beats the cocoon-like feeling of being driving nice and warm under the open skies, whatever the exterior temperature.
And inspect your car well. Any nuts or screws coming loose? Any glued parts coming apart? Anything leaking? Is the hood ok? All little mechanisms working?
You will have a lot of fun, beleive me.

Welcome to the gang. You are going to have such a hoot, with everyone smiling as you go past them. And when it leaks I’ve found the normal response is “they all do that”. Be more worried if it doesn’t leak. Even if it’s sunny outside.....😇🤣
What a great Christmas present!
