I collected a car for my friend today and had a chance to drive it around the block...i will be doing a lot of the work needed to get it back in shape although it is road legal it has a few issues..a big oil leak, binding brake and no stop light to name a few but it's still good enough to drive..

A snug fit and that exhaust gets very hot!

Agreed Rick.
I have quite a soft spot for 3-wheeler Morgans (probably because they use the correct number of sparking plugs!!)
JO, is that a North oxford reg? I used to live in Banbury and do not recall there ever being a Morgan distibutor in the area.
I see John is not far from Resolven. I always try to visit the CM Booth collection whenever I am in the area.

JO is indeed an Oxfordshire registration. It's got a name! Wink

Lovely little car Smile

Made my day when I saw one just like this chugging through Rochford last year.

The car is possibly the most famous 3 wheeler around..it featured in a very well known painting and if you visit the factory the picture hangs behind the receptionist in the main entrance!
You can see a copy here..it's the 2nd picture down..look close and it has the same registration plate!

You didn't forget the important bit - that little museum in Rolvenden is a gem. Bamford? Bampton? extending caravan from the 1930s amongst a shedload of Morgans and all sorts of other motoring oddities. It looks like a shop, on the High St. Well worth a trip.
