simon8201 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 No, K-series engined Morgan. You should be able to find the episode online.Pretty sure they've never used a K series. Think that was a plus 4 with a 2 litre T series, distantly related to that well known racing engine the 'O' series. holbeck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Morgan's had T-series engines does that mean an owner looking for more poke could fit a turbo... simon8201 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those in need of 'more poke' in the Morgan world normally go the V8 route. For me, a 1.6 ford engine gives me more than enough to consider given it's essentially a 1930s design!

simon8201 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 And lo! In the week before Christmas a bright new star was born in Malvern. Wise Men Holbeck and myself gathered to admire it in its manger and then made a pilgrimage to the absolutely superb and eccentric 'Three Kings' at Hanley Castle. Christmas has already come!

holbeck Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Oh, and the aforementioned celebration. at The Three Kings, Handley Castle. I nominate this pub to be the venue for SF17 chaseracer and oldcars 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon8201 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I second this nomination. They have a Gazebo which was full of the detritus of hog roasts past. We found the 'smoke room' through a hidden passage which had been decommissioned years ago and left to become a ground floor attic of wondrous junk. The selection of fine whiskies is to be admired in and around the sink behind the serving hatch. This is a top top pub! chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon8201 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 It's going to be red, or 'Sports Red' as Morgan would have it. I really wanted it to be orange but was talked out of it by my other half and then the dealer! You can have a Morgan any colour you like, but it costs a fair bit if you don't go for one of their standard colours. I'm saving a few pennies for some cosmetic alterations when it arrives at the dealer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon8201 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 DO NOT PAINT! [/JM]I expect there would be a surcharge for this! They charge you £1000 if you want to collect it from the factory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon8201 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm very pleased with how it looks. The finish is great. We were very lucky to catch it as according to Morgan it was only just out of the paint shop and in the trim shop. We started to have a little panic when we couldn't find it, but then saw it in the pdi bay. An hour or so later it was waiting to be loaded onto a truck bound for Northampton (Something I cannot explain-like so many things that they do at Morgan!)

simon8201 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Oh, and Holbeck (he of Rancho fame) and I may have recruited a new autoshiter as the Morgan dealer that took us to the factory today seems to have a bizarre thing for Austin Princesses, especially in yellow. anonymous user and Tickman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
