Off topic... Morgan.
I know a few of you have them.

We visited a mate today, he does have a Twisted 90, but also this beaut.

It's an ARP4, only 50 built. He uses it a lot!

Greeni, you gotta be mad to own a Defender but to own a Morgan and a Defender you gotta be a complete nutter.

I have had a couple, a 1969 4/4 and a 2003 4/4 both great in nice weather and there is an affinity with Land Rovers such as separate chassis, sometimes dubious build quality, a hard ride, quite noisy and they leak in but they are characterful just like a Land Rover. In the end I found them a bit hard going and horrible in wet weather so I moved to an air cooled Porsche, still a drivers car but much more practical.

We had a 2010 Roadster R100, a centenary model with the 3 litre engine and kept it for 7 years. No complaints about the
performance as it went extremely well and held the road very well. Towards the end of our ownership we found that the deteriorating roads were causing such jarring when potholes could not be avoided that some of the body panel joints especially near the rear wings, were beginning to come apart and the filler becoming evident. That was the time to sell and as the roads have not improved in the last 18 months no regrets will be heard from this corner.
Interestingly, we ended up exchanging the Morgan for a 2015 defender Landmark that we still have. Only time will tell if this swap was sensible?? Whistle Similar build quality, but the Defender beats at least one car for comfort Rolling with laughter 1983 Series 3 Pick up in Marine Blue

My dads had a couple over the years, this was the best looking one he had (in my opinion!), epic handling!

Jeremy, I was out today and saw a Morgan that I recognised but it took me a while to work out where from.
