As with everything the preverbal question 'how long is a piece of string' quite simple really it's 'twice the distance from the one end to the centre'. To each their own, whilst I have never had the pleasure of driving the 3.7 I have often heard them fondly referred to as the 'widow maker'.....kind of puts hairs on your chest and can be a handful if not treated with respect. I presume the 5 link rear suspension may help tame the rear end.....wasn't a version of it fitted to the later 3.7s?

Yes it was. some Roadsters had real bad rev hang hence the moniker, mine has the ECU fix.

Nearly bought one at an auction many years ago that needed restoring, they are a rare beastie

Ah the story of my life, in best Groundhog Day style.
Maybe my epitaph should read "He nearly bought one, then eventually he bought it"

Fair question.

As the owner, I can only say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the car. The problem is with me.

A few years ago I was forced into selling my pristine S2000. I was warned that it was a mistake, and so it was. S2000 prices are going through the roof and now is the time to jump.

I have had hours and hours of fun in my Brooklands. I have tweaked it cosmetically and have enjoyed unbelievable pride of ownership. There is absolutely NO other Morgan I would swap it for.

My wife loves it, sadly she won’t drive it - but will drive an S2000 below 6k revs!

On rev hang. I was told about this but have never had a hint of an issue. I drive it ‘enthusiastically’ (as some can attest to) but take care to ease the stick through the gate. There are horror stories - but not with this car.

Finally, I did not set the price; Williams did. They are very well aware of the KH car; it is a Brooklands, but there the similarity ends.

I had a Tuscan similar to that when I was 23. FGC 3J. Still going.

Amazing. Last time I saw that car referenced on PH was 15 years ago
Thursday 24th August 2006 David Gerald's covered transporter brought the "FGC 3J" Tuscan to the event at the weekend I believe.
Apologies for the thread drift, but I almost bought an orange one in Norfolk c1987/88. I drove up one Sunday which annoyed Lady of the Wings (which I can quite understand) because she was in the process of preparing Sunday lunch at the time, and it was a 10-hour round trip....I'm sure it won't be long before she's forgiven me.

Tony,
you were hard to follow in 3rd on the twisty stuff. I trust the Honda is slower but I doubt it

I use to own that car and regret selling it no 48 lots of upgrades I sold the car to crazy horse last year and bought my self a new plus 6 ornament huge mistake!
