Well the car was delivered to Morgan in Belgium and Stephen called this morning to discuss his findings. They did start the car and it ran, but smoke sook came from the front with a horrid noise. His suspicions are ceased water pump.

Car will be recovered to the UK in a covered transporter to my local dealer for full diagnosis and repairs.

To the chap and his wife in the Burgundy S5 car outside of Gent, thank you for the number and support.
To the local chap in Belgium who stopped to help with the loading and local morgan dealer details, who owned 2 Morgan's, thank you for taking the time and caring. Sorry I did not get your name, there was a lot going on at that point.

Still not a disaster as I did make it to the ring that night in a Fiat 500 1L car, that also did an early morning lap as well.
