I recently went to the Car Barn in the North East, near Beamish. It's a treasure trove of interesting cars. Noble, Cayman, Jaguars, Morgans (a lot of Morgans), Ineos, old Lancias, Ariel Atom etc etc and this, the Proteus Jaguar XJ13

 

Amazing place and I like to dream and look at their latest car inventory. Friendly bunch. If you stick your head into the dealership and politely ask can you look around, they leave you alone and won't bother you. There is an excellent gastropod (ish) next door too  

 

Do you have a favourite place like this, or similar? 

 

 

 

Yes. Beaulieu Classic Cars in Beaulieu. It's conveniently located just a stones throw away from the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu in the New Forest, Hampshire.

Revolutions in Perth is a little like this. They're a Morgan dealer but have lots of odd things coming in and out.
I was at a loose end and wandered in one day and ended up shooting the breeze with the sales/owner chap for about 45min.

That XJ13 is agonisingly pretty

1/4 a million and it's yours!

 

I'd love a Morgan Plus 6 (one of the 6 cylinder models, not the new 4 cylinder ones), but finance and storage both count against me  

 

I do have a friend who loves Morgans and I'm doing my best to persuade her to buy one, so I can at least get the odd day out in a Moggie
