[quote=Abacusman] the NHS should supply Morgans /quote]
I recently requested a quote for a Morgan 4 seater from the NHS lease car department. (well, it appeared on their price quote website dropdowns!) but they politely advised me that they werent able to provide one for me.
More fool them; a car that can be sold at the end of the lease contract for not much less than was paid for it seems to make good sense. My 4/4 sport is my company car (well, ok it's my company) and because french company car tax is emissions based it's a tax efficient choice. I know it's tough, but sometimes in business one has to make these sort of decisions. I know, I was expecting a nice low monthly cost based on the residuals..... Last week I asked for a lease quote on a fiat 500 twin air, but they couldn't get me one for that either - I guess fiat can sell plenty anyway so they don't need the business.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the interest,great news though, we have now sold the Merc,
we went to Southport a couple of weeks ago and had a great time at Lifes and were made very welcome indeed,last Saturday we had a tour around the factory and i had a couple of test drives,one in a 4/4,and one in the 4/4 75th aniversary model very nice!,
Sort of made my mind up on a plus four,but not set in stone though.
We would like to get around and look at a few different cars and actually talk to a few owners first,maybe at one of the meets,before i actually empty the bank account!.
regards,
Colin.

If you can get yourself to Donnington tomorrow (Monday) you will meet plenty of owners and perhaps even a TMer

Petrolcol.......What are the details of your 107 SL?
I have one, great car and I am having trouble keeping out of it right now, built like a tank and of a time gone by for MB.
I have people always asking if mine is for sale, give me some details of yours and I shall bear it in mind

Colin,
That's great. The search will begin for 'just the right one' and the more you see the closer you'll get to knowing which is for you. Enjoy this part and let us all know how it progresses.
Cheers.

I've always enjoyed a good hard ride!
My 4/4 Sport is rather fun too.

sorry chaps, at times the rocking motion of the car just makes me feel sort of sea sick, I just hope on hope that the suspension will get better after a few more 1000 miles, if my stomach can take a few more 1000 miles

When I first got my Morgan, I had a bounce at the front. I was told this would settle down after 1000miles, which it did. I would not describe it as a rocking motion, how does the rocking motion present itself?
