Don’t know how to start a new thread but…….was £30,500 + commission (6 or 10%?) a good price for the pretty coloured and decent speck 2011.
18K mile Roadster, sold yesterday at SWVA . I was tempted but still unsure about prices etc.
MM Mike, go into any section of the site and you'll see NEW THREAD in the top left of the screen - just below the main navigation bar - click on that to start a new thread. Can't comment on the vehicle you mentioned but it would have been considered cheap awhile back IF it was in good, cared for, condition; now, I'm not so sure because the market seems quite strange and all over the place. However, with Morgans, my view is condition is king. As I've said previously, I'd rather have a cherished car with miles on it than one that has sat in a garage and only come out of high days and holidays. Morgans do well with miles on them, if cared for; like most mechanical items, they don't like to sit and do nothing!

Mike, Simon is far too gracious to put [url=https://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/
This is an exceptional known car with many nice extras.

Thank you cooper man, I will give it a go although I must admit that I'm a little concerned when you say that Morgan stopped fitting them on later models as mine is a 2019 and to my knowledge that didn't make many after that?

Reg, don't worry, mine (& I think V6 Richard's are 2018) and were not factory fitted Having taken a clutch master cylinder apart there is quite a strong return spring within that, plus of course the massive diaphram spring in the clutch itself Here's my chassis in build - no spring ! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2023/07/28/Clutch-spring.md.jpeg)
