If you really want to drive the car, you are going to spend some time
fiddling with it. 99.00% reliability requires systematic preventive
maintenance. Any auto training course will be a good idea, but any
Morgan is very simple, so you can get most of the information and
practical skills from books, John Blairs web site and this mailing list.
If you love the car, get a thrill from driving one or being a passenger
in someone elses car, then do it. If it needs to work every day, buy a
Honda!
