Thanks for the reply. It re-enforces what I’ve been thinking. I moved on from my paddle shift Lotus as I missed the engagement of a manual gearbox which to be fair I get from the 997 which has to be the most complete vehicle. However my extremely raw and carburettor fed Ural and sidecar handle terribly, but give 110% satisfaction when you get it right. Your comments support the idea that a Morgan will be an engaging drive, but hopefully useable enough for longer journeys and yes have been in touch with Fellmog.
Being fun at legalish speeds really matters to me. We’ve just returned from a month tour of the Spanish Pyrenees in our motorhome where it was clear that the curse of the speed camera is Europewide and the ability to have fun under 70 mph is the future. I have to say we passed 3 Morgans on the trip and the roads were incredible with many fantastic hotels for those not in a motorhome.
Have to admit im my circa 22 years of my Morgan ownership I have only used it to go to the shops on a couple of occasions.
Our first of 3 European adventures was down to the LM 24hrs in 2002, after which we toured a bit of Normandy..
The next Summer holiday trip was again to Europe and from Santander down to Andalusia using Los Romanes as a base and roaming around Southern Spain, took in part of Portugal on the journey back North.
Our last trip was from the Chunnel down through the length of France on into Italy down to Sorrento, used as a base for a few days and to drive the Amalfi coast road at dawn.. For sure there would be more comfortable machines to take on such trips, but the sense of adventure doing so in a Morgan, made for life long memories. Also a Morgan makes a great calling card when visiting foreign parts...
