As Marion Weber used to say ( MG Mitten ads)  "Hey there".....let's not 
forget our pretty little cousin from Malvern Links...who hasn't quite found 
out which powerplant works the best......JAP, MAG, Matchless, Standard 
Special, Coventry Climax, Vangard, Ford, Fiat, Triumph, Rover...or maybe a 
BMW?   Geeez...did I forget any other Morgan based engines?
