Can I add my name to those welcoming you to TM Axel.
I can`t fault your taste in sports cars.. (-: The first car I lusted after (in the late sixties) was a Lotus Elan, in time having owned and brought back to life a few sports cars including Elan`s, Over the years I felt fortunate to own a couple of air cooled 911`s....Variety is the spice of life is it not..? (-:
I came into Morgan ownership looking for a vintage driving experience preferably without the cost of buying a truly vintage machine capable of keeping pace with modern traffic, thus my Morgan has been greatly enjoyed as a pseudo vintage machine for over 20 years....My good lady loved our touring adventures in Southern Europe over a few years, she being more the organiser/ planner of those trips..(-:
I find it interesting that you are coming from a Caterham, towards Morgan, whereas I came from a 911 and m/cycle when I had first thoughts that a Morgan might fit the bill for me..and at a time (mid 90`s) when it seemed to me that most Morganeers who were of the hands-on type, were trying to make their Trad Morgans perform in every way like a Caterham...(-:
It would seem that both Nestor and I may think along similar lines in that choice of a manual gearbox for an occasional use fun car might be our first choice, though I would add, if one lives in a situation where one has to drive through heavy traffic for a while before finding a bit of traffic free Tarmac, then perhaps auto is worthy of consideration. My 991 is an auto, as by the time I was thinking of returning to Porsche ownership my good lady had preferred to choose auto for her cars for about a decade, thus while buying back into a manual air cooled 911 was initially my ideal, logic determined a PDK 991 was the way to go at that time.. Each to their own.. (-:
Sorry to ramble on, as is my habit, but it is great to read that the MMC has moved with the times in terms of evolving the design of Morgan`s to the extent that a young couple today seem to be contemplating along lines similar to those my good lady and I considered circa 30 years ago.... Perhaps an example of logical evolutionary processes...? (-:
I wish you the very best luck in finding the right Morgan for you both....
