Hi

I'm hopefully buying a Morgan 2010 V6 Roadster from a private seller in worcestershire. The car has been sat without many miles being added for 3/4 years. Happy to spend what is needed to get it back in top working order. But before buying it I want to know what I'm getting into and therefore I'm looking for a Morgan specialist mechanic in the area to inspect all parts of the car and provide a report of what work is needed.

Does anyone have any recommendations for who I should go to?

Hoping to buy the car in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks in advance
Andy

A 2010 Roadster will still be the 3.0 and they've proved to quite reliable on engine & 'box

My concern would be brakes (especially the rears) and old hydraulic fluid, change the clutch fluid too

I messaged the OP and explained that my Roadster (06) was cared for up until it was sold to the Irish dealer and then ended up at a well known UK dealer. The two years+ that it sat in limbo meant that a well cared for car needed to be refreshed, both mechanically and cosmetically. I have spent a lot of money on it, with all the right people, and even then, it has just had even more spent on it getting it tip top. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Morgans don't do well sitting being unused. An inspection can tell you only so much because generally a whole host of other small niggles present themselves once you start using the car.
