Looks like Peter's Tarka is back up for sale, via Collecting Cars auction:

https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2014-morgan-plus-8-1

The summary notes an equestrian incident:

"Specific notes from the seller include: The nearside wings have been replaced and repainted by Morgan Motor Works due to a stationary incident where a horse walking over the car necessitated replacement."

I know Peter had some issues but that seems to be a new one!

I well remember Peter`s frustration with the crazy brake light control system, which may have been the final nail in thee coffin for Tarka, which if I remember he then went over to the dark side and bought a Porsche, truly hope it worked out to be problem free, though Porsche problems may be more expensive to resolve on occasion.....? Per haps best not to ask me how I know.and risk starting me off on another rant...(-:

I think he bought a Boxster. Didn't Tarka need new wishbone joints which are an MMC special at £ thousands . Hence the sale after he got it sorted.

He was destined to be MSCC chair at one point I think, then went over to the dark side with Porsche....
The Boxster is a brilliant, if soulless, car, compared to a Morgan.........😁

I saw the car on collecting cars this morning and thought it must be his old car.

He had issues with his lungs (COPD I think) so decided not to persue the MMC role.
His last post was in 2024 & I do have contact details so have told him about Tarka.

Does anyone know if Peter J sold his car locally ? The seller location is stated as Woodgreen (the Woodgreen that I know is near Salisbury, as opposed to Wood Green London).
