In my younger years, think I was a teenager, I read an article from a Dutch Car journalist who wrote about the collection of his Morgan at the factory. It had something special, I remember that on the day of collection he had some mechanical issues, when driving it home. But he was so positive about his Morgan, it did stay in my mind and does so 50 years later. In the beginning I thought it was something I could never afford. But in my thirties a good friend of me stimulated me to visit the Dutch dealership. From then I couldn't get it out of my mind, I became a member of the MSCCH and started looking. As we had two little children I looked for a 4-seater and at the age of 39 I bought a 5 years old 4/4 four seater, royal ivory, which we still have. I attended many club events over the years and my wife and I used it for holidays all around Europe. As a keen gardener, my wife always enjoys the trips to the UK, as we can combine our hobbies while driving through the countryside and visiting many gardens over the years. I also made trips with both my sons, and later they drove the Morgan themselves. In 2023 I suggested to buy a new Morgan with more comfort and suitable for driving through emission zones. The family decided it was okay, as long as the 4/4 stayed at the family as part of our family. In our new PlusFour we already made many trips alone and with Morgan friends from Denmark to France, Austria and Italy and of course the UK visiting the factory. The PlusFour is better suitable to make long travels, we only miss the luggage space of the 4/4. But driving the 4/4 so now and then, it feels so familiar, with all its noises, fumes, squeeks, etc. It's more nostalgic in driving, the PlusFour more Morgan-driving 2.0! We're so glad Morgan is in our lives!
