1953 Morgan "Plus Four"
My uncle is a classic car collector who I see a few times every year, and have seen his cars a few time but never really been in/driven them.
I brought out the ranger yesterday to a family gathering and had him take a spin in it. He had a blast, and gave it 'the beans' a few times.
We came back to his place and he opened the garage and asked me if I wanted to drive his Morgan. I jumped at the opportunity, manual everything (Brakes are terrifying honestly), 4 on the floor, and a dash board that reminds me of a chronograph.
The pictures don't give a good feeling of scale, but from the drivers seat, I could touch the rear tire, and the ground!!!
I drove like an absolute grandmother (Still REALLY cool honestly), but he is taking it to a classic car rally at blackwood farms next week to give it all it has. (Hence the black X to signify he is new, and the number on the door)
He also said the next time I come out he will pull out one of his Rolls.
From what i recall, he owns:
A 4 door woody wagon, right hand drive Rolls (Or Bently... I can't recall)
A Rolls "Silver Cloud"
And his pride and joy, that he offered me to drive the next time I'm out:
1953 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn Drophead - One of 5 ever built, and the only one in north america!!!
*This and the morgan are the only cars he keeps at home, the rest are stored elsewhere*
