- On the contrary, I think old HFS would have seized on the opportunity to advance the handling of the car at little added expense. OTOH, MGTD's had a steel scuttle support hoop from the early fifties,

- Well, why not weigh in. I've noticed a tremendous difference between by 66 4/4 and 63 DHC +4. Apart from the possibility that a 74 4/4 differs, my vote is for chassis differences between the two. +4s

- I'll add my two cents to this discussion. Newer Morgans do ride a lot better than older ones. Why do I think so? The under cowl roll bar. No chassis twisting or cowl shake. My 1991 4/4 came with one

- Both the new 1800cc 4/4 and the current +8 seem to ride much better than their 25 year old predecessors. The obvious changes are the scuttle roll bar, the tubular rear dampers and the rear bar for th

- So does this imply that we who have older Morgans can improve the car's ride by changing to tubular shocks in the rear with a cross brace and possibly rigging a scuttle brace? Or does a better ride b
