Well you know what you have to do, sell a kidney or the Missus... Probably get more for the kidney   Pleased you managed to locate the car, the options at least have presented themselves. Yeah, the reality is that as much as it would be nice to have, I don't really need another 4 seat Morgan, and even if I did have the funds, I'd have to buy a bigger house, or at least one with a bigger drive Would be nice to make contact with the new owner though, and a visit to the states to see her in the flesh wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility....

That would be a nice one to meet up and share a drive together.

Get an interesting web page together with the story ..... and set up a crowdfunding page ... people raise silly money for far less worthy things!!

Beginning to suspect it's a scam advert. The photos are from a Hymans auction site - ithey're about 10 years old (I found the site a couple of years back when I started my search). The seller has zero feedback and no history. Still,will remain optimistic.... And to be honest, if someone had £17,000 they were willing to give away, I'd rather it went to a foodbank.

I love the description in that eBay advert " This Morgan has unique right hand steering". Yes, absolutely a scam. I did a Google image search on one of the pictures and got 54 hits, everything from "Merthyr Auctions" to a private seller in Oak Park, Illinois - all using the same photographs and description. Sadly, no help in tracing the car's current whereabouts I'm afraid.

Yes, I've had a reply from the 'seller':
"Thanks for reaching out and glad you found it! Appreciate the photo too. Yes, we've owned this one for a few years and it's time to pass it on to a new owner. We certainly enjoyed her while we had her!"
No name, or other details provided.
I might push a little further - I've asked if he's got any recent photos.

Looking more promising - he's put some more photos up, which looks like it's in a container, hence using the older photos to give more of a wider overview.....

So, she's now sold - the new owner is in Florida and he's going to repaint her Agate Grey, and re-trim in orange leather. Contact is difficult on ebay as it bans address/phones and emails in messages but hopefully I'll be able to get in touch and share some of her history.

It looks like P3041 is currently for sale on Bring a Trailer.
