I could still be tempted though; I saw a beautiful lemon yellow one at the weekend and it looked great in a 70s way.

TBH I've just bought another part built kitcar, if I hadn't I thin I may have gone & looked, but I don't have any space for it, turn up with a flatbed & £2500 cash

Aren't they a bit breezy?!

No more so than a bicycle :laugh:

I also have another MEV, a Mevster slightly more civilised

Just had my now ageing Saab serviced and MoT'd at amy local specialist and noticed they had some nice Morrises on the forecourt; having a sister company 100 yards away specialising in moggies. Apparently the blue one is £27k, though to be fair it was immaculate and had a lot of upgrades - engine improvements, 5 speed box, suspension upgrades, disc brakes and much much nicer trim than original though still in keeping, so it was really nice. A bit too much for me I think, and for that money I'd be getting a Mk2 or S-type jag, though to be fair an equivalently upgraded jag would be two to three times that even if an reasonably nice one could be had for £30k

Had a day out at the Morgan factory in Malvern. We went on a saturday so the factory was closed, so you don't get to see actual assembly but on the other hand you can get a closer look at stuff without being in the way. One can argue Morgan are (still) brand new classics, but also genuine supercars - their Plus 4 four cylinder model is 0-60 in 5 seconds and their Plus 6 with a straight 6 engine a good bit faster still. Anyway here are some pictures

Don't do 'em any more sadly. Apparently BMW stopped selling them the V8, (which replaced the older Rover / Buick v8) though their latest Plus 4 (4 cylinder turbo) and Plus 6 (straight 6) are both still Beemer engines. Sadly the 6 is now auto only - horror of horrors! Apparently they couldn't get a suitable gearbox as beemer themselves don't do a manual with that engine

I'd settle for s/h if I must!!
