THE DOORS
It seems that the external door handle delete option has died with the Trads. Here is my car about to leave the factory in 2015 (photo by JAYS). Who has the last Trad to be built without external door handles?

Very gender specific! If you left out the 'I' it would save some endangered electrons and be unisex K

Sorry for my “stupid“ question:
If the car is parked with the hood on,
how do you open the car without door handle?

You either push the side screen with your hand or you reach in between the hood & side screen. My first Mog had no door handles & it wasn't an issue. Though my son couldn't get out   ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/03/04/DSC00216.jpg)

Sorry for my “stupid“ question:
If the car is parked with the hood on,
how do you open the car without door handle? Not stupid at all... Two solutions: 1. Slide the perspex screen open about 4cm and reach inside. 2. push your hand between the side screen and hood and reach inside and for those with the traditional hood, simply lift the studs behind the door and reach in. A Morgan is about as mechanically secure as a wet paper bag, but the immobiliser on anything with BMW electronics is good.

With practice (and as long as you have a strong 'pinch') it's quicker than having to find a key in your pocket and unlock a door. The only downside is when you have both hands full with luggage, it's teeming with rain and your Wife is saying "Remind me why we have this ridiculous car..."
