Hello. I hope I'm doing this right. Here's the background: I have a
friend that many of you know, Scott Willoughby. I've known Scott since
about 1981 and lived with him in a house in Lebanon, NJ (yes, there is
such a place!) for a few months. During that time I came to love
Morgans (who wouldn't with a +8 like Scott's parked in the drive?)
Anyway, I digress. Now I've become a man of some means and mean to
acquire a Morgan of my own. I've got my sights set on a 1961 +4 that's
about at the right level of "repair" for me.
Wherein comes the rub. The most complicated thing I've ever done to a
car is put oil into it. I'm I off my rocker to be buying a car whose
motto is "The parts falling off of this car are of the finest English
craftsmanship"? What "fundamentals" should I consider before plunking
down $n,000 and driving off into the sunset? My local community college
offers a course on "small engine repair". Sound like a good idea?
Anyway, I've taken up enough of you good folks time. Any feedback,
discussion, tonguelashing will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
J.D. Welch
