Fortunately all 4 tyres were renewed in 2021.

I've just ordered a cockpit cover from John Taylor and am waiting to get the car booked in for a check-over and a couple of minor items sorted.

The only real issue is the engine "hunting" at tickover. The idle air control valve seems to be a very common problem according to two Morgan specialists I've spoken to. I'm not sure if there's more than one type, once I find out I'll order one and change it myself.

I know there's a lot of interest in insurance costs so just to mention. I paid £230 fully comp which includes Home and European breakdown/recovery and £100k legal expenses at Classicline. I was quoted £197 by Heritage which excluded legal expenses.
Insurance cost looks like a bargain. Has it got agreed value as well, together with mileage limit?
Pre 2000 +8 models seem to do pretty well when it comes to insurance. A friend in Somerset pays Classicline similar for a ‘98 model, whereas Plus 4s around 10-15 years old seem to be a good £100 more.
It would be most interesting to see what Peter James , the newly approved MSCC insurance company would quote. Give them a call…we could all do with a laugh!
