Dashboard re-purposing
I had been wondering what to do with the leather-clad dashboard that Dad removed from his 1982 Plus 8 and decided to insert photographs of the three Morgans that he ran and use it as a picture frame.
The orange 1971 4/4 (PCP 527K) was purchased from a private seller in Bradford in 1974: the red 1982 4/4 (PFR 745X) was purchased from Mike Duncan in 1982 and the Ivory +8 (RMW 719Y) was purchased from Lifes in1988 and sold to the States in 2005 I think. Just in case any one on this forum knows these cars I do have a few purchase and maintenance notes that Dad kept in his records.
In all my parents covered more than 80,000 very happy miles in their Morgans and I thought that the frame was a suitable way to remember these.

Thanks Richard. I still have to put glass in and the circular images need bezels but it sort of works well enough to finish off properly I think.

A fine idea - hope to see you both Sunday Thanks Steve. Yes, we are planning to be there and are looking forward to it - weather permitting. We have conflicting reports at the moment!
