Its not a safety critical issue and it doesnt impact on the cars driveability. Something the driver can get round easily whilst Morgan work out a solution, rather than mount the high horse as some seem to want to do.


"It's not a safety critical issue" I think at MOT it would be sherlock

I'm sure holding that Cossie engine on the clutch whilst at a standstill on a hill must be great fun without an effective handbrake. All part of the Morgan Experience and a snip at £60k scared


I totally agree with all comments that MMC are the culprit in this thread. However i cannot agree with those who suggest that you can't drive without a handbrake. I NEVER use mine, i am happy to balance the throttle & clutch on any hill start, or elsewhere when driving. NEVER use hand brake to park, the 2nd gear is fine, and if on a steep grade, turn the wheels into the kerb, never fails, all very much common sense.


I'm not sure what sort of gradients you have in Kent but you're welcome to visit West Yorkshire and try driving without a handbrake, at the end of the day you probably won't have a clutch plate either rofl
