They used to have a wooden frame made of Ash for the body to connect to. The chassis was always metal.

They used to be a garage near Barnet where you could see Morgans in various stages of construction.The Morgan factory tour is well worth doing, if you're ever in Malvern.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Change of plan. Pate and toast isn't very warming, so spaghetti Bolognese today.

Excitement here!
Way back in 2008, or, whenever it was that Northern Rock got into difficulties, Mrs @BoldonLad had an account there. Subsequently, Virgin Money took over the accounts. Based on careful research (ie Mrs @BoldonLad did not like the look of Richard Branson), she withdrew her money and stashed it elsewhere. A few months ago, she received a letter saying she had some money (no amount mentioned) in a dormant account, with VirginMoney. A form was enclosed, giving her various options. She chose, "Close the Account and send me a cheque".
Today, the cheque arrived...... £1.50 ....... it is going to take days to decide how to spend that

We had an MGB GT but with steel bumpers. My wife was able to get a bit one up on people coming off the ferry who were mightily impressed by her car and realised they were not as superior as they thought. Total money pit tho'.
Restoration maybe?
Morgans have always been constructed at Malvern Link.

Lovely sunny day with virtually no wind but very cold.Got a shortish run on the trike but temp was showing 2C and my fingers were freezing and never warmed up. Roadsides had thick ice but surface seemed ok.
Unfortunately too many cars out and one impatient one I have never seen before. Local drivers all know me by now and know I will pull over as soon as practicable so never a problem.
Too many strangers around so must be coming from higher level areas when they should not be travelling.
Reports are that police in Oban are monitoring cars heading our way but they do not have the resources to monitor the smaller ferries and the crew cannot really refuse travellers as they do not have the authority.
I would like to get down Loch na Keal again but the road in that area has not been gritted in the past and used to be very dodgy in icy conditions.
A kind of fish pie for tea tonight waiting to get finished in the remoska.

Been snowing here - and we are very low down and near the sea (OK river/estuary) so it has to be cold for us to see snow
looking at weather radar it looks like this has beeing wandering down SSW over Lancashire so I expect the snow has been proper snow up there
here it landed on the icy driveway and seems to have melted the ice
which is weird
