Particularly those hairy, tooled leather bonnet straps the owners seem so very
fond of!
But a funny Morgan story: my buddy had a black +4 and wanted to convert it to
something called a Super Sports (or perhaps just Sport) model. Apparently it
required different bonnet side panels from his Standard model.
What to do?
He ordered new side panels directly from Morgan using the serial number of his
car!
We spent months listening to tales of how Morgan kept wonderfully complete
records on every car they made..had the best support of any company...hand
made...true craftsmanship....blah, blah, blah..
The panels arrived at long last, and after filler priming, sanding, painting,
careful polishing, delicate handling, ad nauseum, the panels were fitted and
the bonnet closed.
We all watched as the bonnet was carefully, gently, lovingly, lowered.....to
find Morgan made it five inches too shallow on one side, four on the other.
We rolled on the grass, lol!

Morgan in front, something less desirable in back. Morgans are almost always
worth the effort...

Not a barn find, but a junk yard spotting, any help with identification
would be appreciated.
Thought it might be a TR1800 but the door is not right, could be a Morgan.
Just wondering if it would be worth going back and inquiring.
