This is all very reassuring, I fully appreciate the car is 21 years old so it is bound to need some TLC but having restored several classics this should not be a problem. The tyres and shock absorbers did look original and I will change them over the winter along with anything else that comes to light. There are two Morgan Dealerships near to me, Monksheath which is a very new dealership and Life Motors in Southport. But would be very interested if any one has a recommendation near Stockport/Manchester?

Colin found that he wasn't using the car and almost 2 years ago he thought that it was sold but the guy pulled out on the morning he was supposed to come and collect it. He then placed it with the original Morgan dealer in Scotland, where it was on the website for a while before he totally cut his Morgan links. I wondered where it had gone. I am sure that you should get many years and miles of enjoyment from the car once it has been treated to fresh fluids all round (brake and clutch too) and probably tyres as at the mileage they may well be the originals. The price quoted on the web was sharp so well done!

You Guy's should be Detectives, you have all identified the car which I think was previously owned by Colin Milligan? Anyway it looked in very good condition and well looked after when I went up to see it, but I was unable to get underneath to have a good look at the chassis or check the front wheels for any play. My Wife drove the car but it then started very heavy rain so although I had been driven a good distance in the car I never got to actually drive it. I know that is not the ideal way to purchase but it just seemed to good to miss! The seller has coated the underneath in black Waxoil but assures me there was no corrosion and I have nothing to fear. The way my Bank is going it will probably be late next week now before the funds have transferred and I can pick up the car. I am still trying to persuade SWMBO that I can keep the Stag as well but think I am fighting a lost cause.

If it's the car I think it is, it has had a good home and been well looked after.

Bet the weather is utter C***p going forward. Previous classics include Elan Sprints, Healy 3000's, an MGBGT V8, a TR5 and currently a Triumph Stag. I have been looking for a good low mileage car that is affordable for some time and just hope I haven't dropped a big clanger with this.
