Ole reliable: '72 Volkswagen Super Beetle. Very good shape. 72,000 miles on body, at least 10,000 left on tires, 300 miles since engine rebuilt. No accidents. $1,300 or best offer. Old, faithful, and heartbroken: 1961 Morgan Plus/4. I don't know what else to say. This is a genuine antique, still with all Morgan parts. Each (of 200 per year) Morgan is hand made. In 1961, they boasted a TR-3 engine, a Jaguar gearbox, Lucas electrics, and an all-wooden frame and suspension. They are no longer imported because Morgan won't degrade performance to meet U. S. federal emissions requirements. This specimen is in excellent condition. It was special ordered (as I presume all are) by a friend of my family (in 1960), and after about two months, traded to my father. He gave it to me. It has 36,000 miles on it, and has never been used for "transportation". It hasn't been driven in the last 5 years, and has been garaged for its entire life. If purchased for restoration, none will be necessary on the engine or electronics; only one body panel has rust and most of the upholstery is unworn; all is quite serviceable. I'm asking $13,000. There is a discount if you give me visitation rights. Also included is the definitive book on Morgans (1938-1969, if I remember right), itself a classic in automotive terms (it was purchased in 1972). It is fascinating to read just by itself! (although not worth 13 grand by itself.) Contact Steve Suttles, x1710, or RSVP by Vaxmail. sas
