This subject has certainly raised a good deal of interest and may prompt
editors and contributors to reappraise. Here is my two pennies worth.
At the tender age of 15 in 1960 I acquired my first "classic" car-a 1936
MGTA. With a knowledge gained from friends and books I spent the next 40 odd
years and many late late nights renovating or restoring a number of old cars
from MGs ( predominantly) to a 2.6 Lagonda -a genuine barn find. At the
tender age of 63 and having gained industrial dermititus as a result of the
early years of too late to bed and no Swarfega to thoroughly clean the hands
I don`t now need to know how to adjust tow-in or tap out a gasket on the
roadside to get me home. A pyjama cord did the trick on one occasion
incidently. What I wanted was something that was quintessentially a British
classic with a hopefully limited requirement on my part to keep it running.
I bought my first Morgan a new +4. I`m quite happy to drive around getting
envious looks from especially the younger generation who like me when a good
deal younger probably are thinking "look at that old fart- what does he want
that for" He wants it because he`s earned it and enjoys the wind in what
hair he has left. I can now also afford RAC roadside recovery and possibly
an over night hotel if needed.
I hope those who read this to the end understand that perhaps many of us
enjoy just looking at the adverts although I have failed to convince my
better half that we really do need a new Morgan three wheeler or maybe the
new +8. I also read all the emails on this forum.
Please enjoy the whole specrtum that is Morgan.
Regards To All
