3rd brakelight on 4/4 Sport is recessed into rear panel- not sure if Roadster Sport will follow this route or recess light into hood as per pic above. 4/4 relectors are ace, 3rd brake light is obscured if rack is used for luggage or spare, the daft thing is you probably only need a spare when touring and where then do you put your suitcase?

For me, the lack of an actual spare wheel is a killer. I simply would not buy such a model (4/4 sport, roadster sport).

I know this is tempting fate scared , but neither Head Office or myself have had a puncture in Europe in the last twenty years or more. I have no hesitation driving a car with no spare and neither of our Morgan's have a spare wheel.

If given a delete option of a spare wheel on a new car, I would definitely order it without a spare wheel regarding them as an anachronism from the past. hide

A trad' is, in its own essence, an anachronism.

As well as any stuff with 4 wheels and a dinosaurs juice engine abble to run up to 60mph.


I am an anachronism,

and I like that smile

I average a puncture a year so I must be daft to choose 4/4 Sport but I am the eternal optimist, also I've travelled many thousands of miles by motorcycle and was never unduly worried by lack of spare

So did I in my youth - and pushed it home a couple of times. Always late at night being left behind by the rest of the pack. ("oh! We wondered where you got to" was the plaintive cry the following day. swear

My Berkeley Trike had no spare either but I never punctured in that fortunately. The rear was a sod to get too even though you could lift the back up and hold it there while 'someone got under'to fiddle with it. Even though I joined the AA, they hated doing anything to it.rtm

BTW. I have twice seen the AA changing the wheel at the side of the road on an 'Army' Vehicle while the squadies looked on. - Does that that make the AA a Para-military organisation? surrender
