Is the rumour true that a sundial is being considered as a retro option?

Car dealers do not have to tax unsold cars if they drive them on trade plates.

Absolutely right. A car (or anything) is only worth what people are prepared to pay for it, not what the owner believes it is worth.

Getting the return on one's investment in the form of enjoying the ownership is exactly the right way to go, and amortising over a period is a splendid idea, you can't really enjoy a car if it owes you money as you're always thinking of the resale vale.

It was but unfortunately they were unable to get it working consistently and so were worried about the effect it may have on the other warranty claims.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I am led to believe they are faultless in the Southern Hemisphere during daylight hours.
