Jokes aside, I have been thinking about this and I think that the position of the stems of the wipers on the trad Morgan are symmetrical so to get the best coverage the blades need to park on the driver's side, whichever that may be. The ends of the arms are bent slightly so the blades can park parallel, and close to, the lower part of the windscreen frame. For this reason they don't sweep equally to the left and right. Note that the arms would therefore be different for LHD and RHD cars. The wiper motor also has to be set for left or right parking.

If the stems are offset to give a better coverage for the driver the stems are offset to the driver's side, the blades park to the passenger side and when they complete their stroke the driver's side blade comes a near as possible to vertical near the driver's side windscreen pillar. Morgan have used this system on the new Plus 8.

It would be very easy for Morgan to adopt offset wipers to the trad series too. It would be a very small design modification.
