Well, shows what happens when you try and do somethign different after years of making the same thing! I cant imagine the box is made by morgan. I
have a video here of how a traditional Morgan is made, and its all by hand, shaping wings over tree trunks and the like. You cant hand beat a gear
box!
Anyway, mines just a look-alike - its really the frankenstined bastard child of a 87 granada V6!

i thought you could buy em new - with a 6 year wait - for 24k or so.....
Morgan want a 500 quid deposit to get you on the waiting list - then you pay the rest 6 months before. I wonder if there is an industry selling on
brand new Morgans or the places on the waiting lists?
Regarding the car - Is it just like this? Taken by yours truly at motor show 2 - 3 years ago...

This one's cooler...Taken at this year's show...
In fact I quite like the car from any angle that doesn't show the headlights.
