There is a son, Xan, at the time of birth, someone did a cartoon of a
pram with a morgan bonnet(hood)!- it might have been Charles himself.

The big rocker switches were Lucas items, I think and are unreasonably
expensive in the UK. I have seen them in Jaguars and Fords of the period
and mine came from a scrapyard.

As for a photo, the standard books are as good as anywhere. "Original
Morgan" has a good selection, as does "Morgan Cars, Gold Portfolio
1968-1989", Brooklands Books, ISBN 1 870642 775, page 8 is really
helpful.

The +8 dash design was used in the 4/4 1600s of the same period.
