Is there any truth in the rumour that Morgan is engineering a 'Flintstone' drive system that does away completely with issues currently affecting engine, compensator, bevel box, and rear sprocket, by adding slightly bigger holes in the floor so that you can touch the ground and give the car reliable but shin-bashing propulsion as long as you have grippy shoes. A passenger is a big advantage as this actually increases the power:weight ratio which is almost unheard of in more traditional drive mechanisms (other than the tandem bike).
Stone tyres will be available to complete the package, and a firm recommendation that the car should only be operated down hills. Avoidance of exhaust pipe failures is a further benefit and unless the extra wide stone tyres are ordered the weight now falls below 450kg.
The DVLA is introducing a 'gravity license' to ensure that the savings in petrol duty are met for the greater good of society by another means.
I'm not convinced this is the right way to go...
