Because the crossmember is an inverted U shape, occasionally owners have grounded and got stuck.

The skid plate is maybe 3mm thick but covers the edges of the "U" making getting stuck less likely.

Latest update -



SUPER 3
Production is just starting, first vehicles for the UK should be ready within a month, with the EU dealer vehicles the month following, and then the USA dealer vehicles. And so our USA network will have Super 3 demo & stock vehicles late summer / early fall this year. We will have a USA product launch this summer. Dealers can place orders with us for this model, and we have launched our US $ price list. Early dealer vehicles were chosen from a pre-set pallet of 12 colours, customers may chose their own colourways of course.



PLUS FOUR, PLUS SIX
We do not have NHTSA approval for these models and so have not, so far, been able to sell them in USA. In 2015 the FAST act (replica car bill) was passed, meaning that manufacturers of cars which closely resemble cars produced 25 years ago may sell up to 325 per year into USA under heavily reduced NHTSA rules. This bill became law about a month ago (6 years after being first announced). In the meantime we started a program to ensure that the BMW 2.0 & 3.0 litre engines that we fit are EPA compliant (we use the EU versions, not the USA ones), and this program should be complete within a couple of weeks, 3 months after initialising it. Once we have a valid EPA certificate, we can start the NHTSA approval process, which we do not see as too challenging thanks to the FAST act regulations. This should be completed quickly, probably early fall.
We will shortly start the process of deciding vehicle specs for the launch vehicles, and create a US $ price list.

The first car that will be available in USA is the PLUS FOUR AUTOMATIC. This is our most popular model in UK & EU, and we see it as being the same success in USA. It remains our intention to supply dealer cars at the end of this year, and customer cars starting very early next year. Under the FAST act we cannot obtain title until 1st Jan 23 (they will be our 24MY vehicles). The PLUS FOUR MANUAL, & PLUS SIX, will follow at some point next year.

All vehicles will feature new specifications (in Europe they will be our 23MY vehicles, 24MY in USA) which are not yet shown on our configurator as the vehicles have not yet been launched.

To answer some client specific questions-

All Morgan-approved dealers can offer full warranty aftercare.

The alloy wheel is lighter than the wire, I do not have the exact weight difference but can find it if it is important.

The sidescreens are constructed from polycarbonate lenses in an aluminium frame.

The chassis is made from a very high grade of aluminium that is extremely corrosion resistant.

Our cars have ABS (the Super 3 does not).

There is no header unit (radio), the audio system is a wifi enabled amp with speakers, driven through your smart phone (standard on Plus Six, optional on Plus Four). This may change for 23(24)MY vehicles.

The LCD display of the current range may change for the 23(24)MY vehicles.

Our vehicles are designed to be driven roof-down, and are offered with weather protection. Each hood is handmade, and so it is possible that some owners experience slightly different aerodynamic results than others. Overall, the 22MY hood is far better fitting than any previous Morgan hood.

Our 22MY upgrades included a new extensive sealing package, including hood rail to windscreen, which have dramatically improved air (& water) ingress.

All vehicles ordered with a spare wheel are supplied with a jack, and wheel brace. This is from 22MY onward.

We are planning on producing around 80-100 vehicles for USA toward the end of this year, however we are not immune to the global supply chain issues and this may, or may not, slip. At this moment you should receive your car early next year.

You are welcome to order as many, or as few, options from our USA model order form, when available. Pricing will not be the same as UK/EU pricing.

The 21MY vehicles were updated for 22MY, and will be again for the 23MY range (24MY USA). I can assure you that the vehicle that you receive will delight you and fully live up to your every expectation.

If he’s not known here on TM you might have success via Gill Bevan at MSCC/Miscellany (hope she doesn’t mind me mentioning her!). Someone who has a Mog about 20 miles away from me, but not on TM, sent her an email and she worked out who they were talking about and forwarded his email to me. Thus I could choose to respond or not (which I did).
She is very good…

A regular occurrence on the M5/M4 split at Almondsbury, too.

Simple solution is to buy the lift dot fastener from eBay together with an aluminium motorcycle tax disk holder. Fit the faster to the narrow end and bend the tax disk holder to suit your dashboard. Then glue something to the back of the tax disk holder (leather offcut perhaps) to the rear of the tax disk holder to protect the leather on your dashboard. The mounting brackets to suit various sat-navs are available on eBay - you need to know the diameter of the pivot ball and Garmin differ from TomTom. Alternatively, you can glue a pad to the aluminium that your windscreen suction mount will adhere to.

Hi & Moin Nick!

Lovely car (in a real tasteful colourscheme inside & out!) - nice lanscape - brilliant weather. What more could you ask for?!


(regarding the colourscheme: i´m a bit biased, as i had one of those as well ;-) )

Regards form your close neighbourhood ;-)

Just measured our Michelin Cross Climate at 182mm and no scuffing to date (original wheel/black hub)...175/65R15 size...one caution is that it is ~4 years old and about to be changed and not sure that Michelin have not updated to a v2 (?)

Well I for one really like what Drogo did to create the breadvan , and appreciate how it sounds and goes with E Pirro muscleing her round Goodwood-particularly after the last engine freshen up.
But a good (light ) racing sud ti tugs at my heart strings as that is what got me into motorsport. The engines sing -the handling is amazing, there are not many fwd cars I feel confident sliding -but a sud on song coming out of a corner when you know the big engines cant pass you is just superb.

I also noticed on mine that the water expansion takes wears o. The wiring at the front of the engine

Obviously not drinking, about to pour it over Allegra

Hi Colin

I appreciate this is a very old thread to resurrect, but is it OK to fit a fan bypass switch to a 2000 3.9 14CUX?

Thanks

Mike

Had any response to a V5 /
I have several vintage MOGS and could forward info needed if you wish

Too right, we have lost a hell of a lot of bikers in the Westcountry this year already and the Polis have been visiting known biker venues re educating the hobbiest / born again brigade so hopefully it will help relieve the current rate of attrition.
