Are you in the Washington DC metropolitan area? If so you might try
Cantab Motors, LTD in Round Hill, VA. They sell new and used Morgans,
do restorations and supply parts. I have never dealt with them, but
have seen their ads in Hemmings. They might be a good starting point
for your newest project. Phone is 540-338-2211. By the way, nice
collection of cars!!!
Good luck.
