Hello everyone. It's been a long time coming, but I eventually acquired my first Morgan; a MY23 Plus Six in Lagoon Blue. It's already attracted attention on the CX Forum, where I will add to that thread, but I'm really pleased to have the Six and (almost) equally pleased to be here.
In case you do wonder about the title of the thread, I asked the vendor if he had a name for the Six and he said "No", so I have christened her "Rachel" as it was the budget change on Inheritance Tax which finally pushed me into the acquisition.
See you on the other forums.

Congrats. What change in particular ….? If I buy one, which I am pondering, it will no doubt go into my estate for IHT.

PS where did those 50+ years go since I bought my first one ??

Welcome. We too are now pondering the IHT raid on DC pension funds.

Thanks for the welcome! Yep, it was taking the DC funds into the IHT calculation which made me think "better off using it than losing it". I'd originally planned leaving a DC pension pot that would have been IHT free, but once that benefit got removed, well, let me see ... "do I want to lose 40% of it in tax or take out 25% tax free and use that to buy a Morgan"  Best, Steve
