That ain't no stinkin' Morgan! That's a Riley!
As a TRactor engined Morgan lover, I am offended.
This is what a Riley convertible should look like.

Oh shit, that's a long URL. Anyway, Google Riley convertible to see what
they look like.
I have a couple of Morgan flat rads that will be finding a home in my
garage someday. One has been disassembled since 1962.

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.
