Welcome to the forum, saw the car advertised in NI and it is spectacular looking car.
Make sure all the water coolant (and antifreeze), oil is flushed and brake fluid is replaced and of course if original tyres they will have harden and perished. I bought my 4/4 a few weeks ago and it still had its original tyres (14 years old) I replaced them and noticed a big improvement in ride and handling especially in the wet.
The V8's I believe has an alu head (from memory) and you need to keep the antifreeze density correct to stop the water channels and radiator from clogging up, so I would recommend a coolant flush is very important for such a low mileage car. Just do an internet search on the V8 engine and lots of advice from various forums will point out the things to watch out for. I did a full fluids flush when I got my very low mileage Mercedes Cabriolet a few years ago despite its full Mercedes service history.
Also if buying a rear rack get one with the side screen holder provision, it frees up so much space in the rear if the side screens are held with the rack....space often can be at a premium in Morgans and the little bit extra for the rack will pay for itself in no time at all
Most important bit is to enjoy the car.........
All the best and congratulations

Hi from NZ, she looks good mine was a low mileage 99 and I have changed oil a few times and radiator plus fluid twice, got rid of original tyres and replaced battery twice now got the right AGM one . Not had any issues on the road yet and they are a great touring car, which can be driven in different ways depending on how the mood takes you. Will probably free up my exhaust system as next project as the 3.9 's do seem to like a rev and as long as not too ferocious everyone likes the noise.
