Morgans havent changed that much since the one in the garage was made so once it's been serviced that one will probably be a dream to bomb around in.  cloud9:

A Cobra would eat them for breakfast and spit out the pieces

Best race I ever saw involved a Shelby Cobra doing just that to an E Type.  And the latter had no mug Jackie Stewart in it

For pure power a cobra would eat the Morgan for breakfast but given that Morgans have a wooden frame they are a blast to throw around turns. Had a lift in one from a friend tearing round back roads and half the fun was not being sure if this was where we were going to end up killing ourselves slamming into a Cornish hedge.

For anyone who hasn't come across one before a Cornish hedge is a granite wall along the sides of small roads that has been overgrown with plant life to the point that you'd never know there was something underneath. I've seen more than one person total their car by swerving to avoid something in the road and end up ploughing straight into one.

"Once reconditioned and refurbished, both the collectible vehicles will be worth far more than they are in their current state"

Really?

Leading edge journalism if ever I read it.
