Thanks for all the input guys, it's been extremely helpful and interesting.
I've just had a report from the owner to say it has been checked by a mechanic and there is no crack in the chassis. It is definitely a sress fracture of the body skin
( steel ), and at this stage it cannot be ascertained whether it is related to any associated damage of the wood frame.
One Morgan owner I spoke to opined it may simply have been due to excessive chassis flexing when eg. hitting a large pot-hole ( yep we have those too here in Oz along with the bull dust!!
Thanks to the last two posters for the pics which were very interesting.
It's now academic as I think I've found a much better vehicle..........off to Queensland once again!
Will keep you posted!
Cheers,
Neil.
