My Roadster Brooklands is coming up for sale to make room for the new car though, but the project car has the same running gear if not the same suspension. flag

The project car is manual for now, but it may be altered in the future. It is not a series production car, but a one-off and as such features the foibles and taste of one individual and thus may well divide opinion. wink No apologies yet, but don't blame MMC!

Brian, I completely agree, I think it is one of the best well balanced powerful Morgans to date, the chassis has just enough give while being no too stiff, I suspect with 17" wheels and a little loss in comfort factor it could be pushed really hard without much trouble. I love the gearbox, just so positive.

I reckon in a GT type car with a carefully chosen paddle shift auto it would be stunning. As the previous post said if a conversion housing could be machined I would think the 911 auto with paddle shift would be perfect. Although it might be worth trying a Mustang auto first as this might be just as good and Ford are pretty reliable on overall design solutions.

cheers
