Morgan hire in the south?

[ecain63]

Got my folks coming down for Xmas and new year and thought I'd treat my dad to a days Morgan hire. He's never driven one before and its a life long dream of his so being the nice guy I am I thought 'what the heck!'. Is there anywhere down south that does day hire or do any of you guys know of a generous owner?

I was planning on doing the same thing. For a really good weekend, there's a place in Cornwall, near Mylor (not far from Falmouth) that hire them, and they're pretty reasonably priced too. Perranwell Garage IIRC. Bit of a drive down, but a wonderful weekend, the area is amazing!

Thanks mate. Ive found hire centres in Bristol, Chester, London and Cornwall but as it'll be a day hire i wanted something more local. All the hire places offer delivery but youre looking at £250 extra for that!

Hi Ed dont think they have any Morgans but theres plenty of simular metal available and these guys are just up the road from me...45ish mins from you. Hope it helps http://www.vanillaclassics.com/

One of my clients specialises in Morgans, based near Shaftesbury. Always has one or two for sale.

Doesn't hire them as far as I know, but if there is anyone local that does he (Tim) will know -

Crikey, they're expensive. For a weekend hire, it'd be cheaper to drive to Cornwall!

EDIT: Ah, suppose you do get the Friday for their weekend hire too.
