1970 Plus 8
My 1970 Plus 8 has recently been fitted with a GM Ecotec 2.4 liter engine. I did a thread a while back, but these are new photos.

What great condition for a 40 year old. Looks stunning, I notice a partial cover over the front grill, unusual to cut down airflow into the radiator, must be cold there.

Thank you. Yes, it has been cold here. Come summer, I'm sure that the duct tape will come off!

A Stunning Looker. Our first Mog was Sunset Yellow and I miss the vibrance. Lovely condition.

Agree, nice looking car. I notice you have done away with the wing mirrors which does give the car a nice "clean" uncluttered look. I'm tempted to do the same on mine for what use they are.

Actually, this car has never had wing mirrors.

Yes, the new engine and 5-speed gearbox are fantastic!

After seeing Frank's Sunset Yellow Morgan in the metal, I can honestly say that yellow is a superb colour for these cars. Congratulations on owning such a beauty and I'm glad to hear that you're happy with your modifications.
Have you noticed a significant improvement in performance?
