A Morgan is a rare sight here now. The company just got the Plus Four certified to sell here last year as a "replica car", which limits sales to 325 per year under US regulations. No new Morgan four-wheelers had been sold here in 20 years. The three-wheelers became available again in the US in 2023.

The car above is a Morgan Aeromax, not sold here, and only a little over 100 were built around 2008–2009.

Ahh... It IS a Morgan.. I could've sworn it was a Weissman. Either way.. NEVER thought I'd see one outside of a video game or TopGear. Super cool.

Got to see a Caterham 7 last year too.. man id love to drive one of those.

Caterham 7 is my fantasy Daily Driver.

Caterham 7 is an updated clone of the old Lotus 7. The original was what Brits call a lightweight "trials car" for a type of offroad race course that doesn't have the speeds of pro rallying. I don't know if trials racing is still going on there, but the Caterham is a survivor of a type of race car hardly anyone on this side of the pond knows about.

What yall think about this gem sitting behind my brother's house? Pay attention to odometer! 1 owner
Edit my bro does not own. His neighbor does..... for now???

 

[SenorNoob]

That looks too clean to have tripped. Even once. Must've been an old person who quit driving a couple years after buying it.

 

[2drxploder]

The odometer has not rolled over. 1 owner. (Sort of gentleman father bought new, he passed in 2005, title was transferred to son @ 37,5xx).
I am sitting with the owner right now drinking sum brews by the fire, trying to determine a number. He is holding the title in his hand! It's a 3.8 v6, poop! very minimal rust in 1 cab corner short bed automatic 2wd. Has all original hub caps in GOOOD condition. What would yall give for this unit? Interior is near mint! 1983 f100 shoot!

 

[2drxploder]

What should I offer?

 

[RobbieD]

What should I offer?

More rum.

And yet more rum . . .

 

[RobbieD]

Honestly, I don't know what the market is anymore, especially for full-size F trucks.

But that is the kind of truck that we all look for. One owner, low miles.

I'm frugal (cheap, really!), but in that position I'd throw out $5,000 as a first offer to see what the reaction is.

I’d look at the cost of “functional” similar trucks where you are, and bump it 20%

 

[2drxploder]

Well I replaced 2 hose bibs and installed a dishwasher at his house + 1500 cash. He signed the title. I have it running and started the process of cleaning this truck.
