I am, and after a lifetime of pottering with them. I find myself frustrated by the state of the roads preventing enjoyable fast driving even here in SE Wales. And the other aspect that I always enjoyed, taking them to bits and fettling, I find i can no longer do because age makes it difficult to "get down and get under" or at least to get up again afterwards oldgit. Never been one for "detailing" and car shows of the sort where you park up and sit by your car / potter about looking.

So what is the point? Driving down to the boat, the preferred mode of transport is the motorbike when I can at least filter through the jams.

Having enjoyed motoring from the 60s onwards, I reckon I have enjoyed the good years and now its really just about transport at best. Do you find the same feeling?

For fettling get yourself a car lift and with the help of an old office chair you can perform many jobs sitting down working at eye level. Mine was just £1500 delivered.

Don’t worry Perry, for the same reasons as you, I still wouldn’t sell my Morgan, the whole experience of buying it is a strong attachment, it’ll be a bad day if I’m hard up enough to need the money out of it.
