It was 2004 with the first Roadster Yep John is correct, mainly introduced as the V6 had a sort of airbox scoop that was sited to sit on the inside of side louvers & get a bit of ram-air effect whilst travelling forward You could run with or without the scoop, but my S1 definitely ran cooler with it fitted My car was originally delivered without the scoop. CooperMan, you state that your S1 ran cooler with the scoop, but did it run better? I think it has been said here (by DaveW, I believe) that the S1 actually ran better without the scoop. I have always been puzzled that my Roadster was without the scoop, I even thought about having one made but discarded the idea as nobody could confirm any advantage. Theoretically - yes, but behind the wheel no. Comments, anybody?

All those who join the register are asked to agree by e mail who can get their details and what. I have a master s/sheet & a redacted version The redacted version is sent out by BCC to those on the register. I understand the concerns & Peter if you son wants to comment I am happy.

I always ran my S1 with the scoop. So I can't help

Richard, lets talk on Sunday. Something like that is on my winter to do list. The inlet seems very small & also right by the manifold in standard design. John

Robbie, I sold my S1 over two years ago & all my data & tests went with it, it it helps, a reliable source told me the MMC parts dept had a pile of unfitted 'spare' scoops, indeed I had to purchase one as it was missing from the car originally

Never heard of that. Although Librands sold an ECU flash that is no longer available.

Hi John, Just catching up with your change to a Brooklands and starting the register. I hope that it goes well for you and the owner/members. The Roadster 100 Register is 10 years old this year and despite not ever being able to find out the actual number built (57 or 63 ?) I have been made aware of the locations of 56 of them so far and we have 46 owner members on the register. Early on when the new data protections rules were introduced I decided to implement asking members to agree and most, not all, did but no one objected. As you will probably find going forward, while agreeing to be on the Register, not many communicate despite us using an all members only group email system similar to MogTalk. Keeping tabs on the cars is also a tad difficult as most members don't let me know when they sell. Most dealers who have sold since we started now put an invitation Flyer in their sales pack giving quite a high number of new owner members. Richard Thorne has the last Members car to come to market. Perhaps when you have grown, you may become more influential than I in getting Brooklands to re introduce an annual Morgan Day with your line in prime location in the paddock. Best Wishes Frank
