John,
I'm sure Jan Mekes meant "left hand drive" instead of "right hand drive"
because people there drive on the right hand side of the road (at least
they did last time I was there (1995))
But, no, don't know of any Morgan in this area. Jan might be best off
hunting for one in Europe; I would imagine that shipping one to The
Netherlands from North America would gobble up a fair bit of the 5000$!

>>Dear John,
>>
>>Since a few years i'm looking for a cheep Morgan which is well able to
>drive. After driving it a little bit of time i would like to restore it. I
>have restoring experience with a Citroen traction avant of the year 1953.
>This car I bought in 1985 for Dfl 5.000 ($ 3.000) and after restoring it
>it's now taxated at Dfl 23.500.
>>Because there is a lot of work and fun in the car i don't want to sell it.
>But if there is no other way to get a Morgan i'm willing to do that,
>because the Mog is my lifewish.
>>But fingers are useless now since the Citroen is restored and my favourite
>car always was a Morgan. Tried everywhere to get a cheep driving one, but
>didn't succeed. It seems that all Morganeers hold her cars and never there
>is a car brought too a car-chemetry.
>>I wish i was a lucky as you by finding such a nice car, I bought all books
>i can get to look in advertises for a cheep car, but didn't succeed so far.
>>By searching the web I noticed your very good articles and my thought was
>"why don't ask a Morganeer if he is aware of a cheep Morgan to sell?"
>>The price I have in mind is about $ 5.000 but therefor the car must be
>drivable and restorabele. Bevcouse i live in Holland it must be a right
>hand drived one, but a left hand would be no care.
>>
>>I hope you succeed in finding such one and that the overtake to Holland
>isn't too much money....
>>
>>I thank you in advance,
