Then I got closer.

What you did there — we all saw it.
Amazing looking car. My folks had a replica Morgan kit car in SoCal when I was a little baby. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in person.

It’s one blue stripe away from being a Torchbug. I need to visit Road America (where I am sure these were heading) more. It’s within an hour from my house, and there’s plenty of car pron there most weekends.

I’m sure a lot of this has to do with the fact that just south of the border is Northshore Sportscars , but I tend to see a few old Morgans around regularly. There was a big British car show last weekend and maybe 6-8 of all different sizes (and wheel counts) came out.
e: Wait, what? Your picture is the Aero8 they have listed for sale :
That’s an actual Morgan LeMans car! Cool!

I don’t want my other comment to get buried in the comment tree, but that’s the 2004 Morgan factory LeMans car!
It’s for sale at Northshore Sportscars down in IL.

I should call them.
“MMMyyeess, hello, I saw your MORGAN last night and was inquiring about its price, yes. Do you take trade ins?”

This is very much a “if you have to ask...” situation.
The site doesn’t say, but the +8 GTR factory race car they have for sale was listed for $250k the last I heard.

Oh I imagine it’s well over my (and most of Oppo’s) budget. Unless we pool our resources together... I’m good for about tree fiddy.

In other words, they’re not actually interested in selling it.

Maybe! As far as I’m aware, the blue one just sits in their showroom. Sure, it might be appreciating (maybe), but it’s been there every time I’ve been there.

Yeah you’d definitely need a Camry as a reliable DD.

In the garage of my GF’s boss’s vacation home sits a ‘64 Morgan Plus 4, undriven. I’d love to rescue it.

An 8 year old used race car that no longer meets specs for the series it was built for, is probably not appreciating, but what do I know.

No clue. Provenance can be a weird thing for valuation, really hit or miss. Of course, it’s only worth what someone will pay for it. If their asking price is higher than that number (does it exist?), you may be right that they aren’t all that interested in selling.
