    Having had two now I would suggest that you’ll need to travel for the right car. They are few and far between just now but seem to come up in blocks back and forward. If you ask the right questions before you set off you shouldn’t get any wasted journeys.
    If I was looking at any just now I’d be looking towards this one for starters ... a bit on the heaven side price wise but I’m sure a bit of negotiating will sort that ..

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    By the looks of the prices on eBay GP1499 is worth more than I thought.

    Yes, that's the one that sticks out, I spoke to the garage about it last week
    a bit pricey, but has the low miles and Service History

    That’s about the right kind of price for a stupidly low mileage GP.

    Yeah, my mod list is forever going up.

    Yeah you’re right pete with that mileage it’s always going to command top money. It’s probably worth that too if it’s as good as it looks !
    1499 staying on in the Morgan family ?

    Sadly not Davy.

    It’s not turned a wheel for nearly a full year and that wee beasty needs to be driven.
    I keep thinking about keeping it but I just have no use for it anymore.
    The R59 JCW is just a much better all round car as a daily, a hooner and a show car.
    No matter where I’m going the Roadster would always be my first choice.
    ...plus it’s a lot more rare than GP1499 is.

    I’ve always said that I would never own a Garage Queen and I’m not going to start with a GP.
    It’s more like a Garage Tramp at the mo though.
    lol

    That’s ok it’ll just need a wee run Pete if you’ve had it on a charger it’ll fire up first time I bet. Should I pop down to give you a hand to get it sorted ?

    No thanks Davy, but thank you for the very kind offer.
