The Urban Cooling Kit is designed to improve cooling to the rear of the cylinders (in the M3W installation sense) when on the move and stationary. It also helps stabilise cylinder head temperature to improve conditions when the engine is running. The Skip Fire that is used on early cars is more of an emergency measure to prevent serious damage due to very high temperatures. High temperatures will kill your expensive S&S engine quickly. You really know when Skip Fire happens and it's not something you want to occur on a regular basis. The ECU flash that is done with the cooling fan fit to deactivate Skip Fire and control the fan running has the added benefit of a better base fuelling map than the early original. The Urban Cooling Kit is maybe not the best looking thing but it is well worth having if you want to extend the life of your engine.




Thanks that seems to make a lot of sense, something to price up and consider then I think.

Basic price £25k plus Vat = £30,000

Options (inc VAT):

Special paint £595
Tonneau £300
MOG graphic £240
Shark Graphic £265

So it was at least a £31,400 car plus delivery and the costs of the upgrades since.

£31k from a Morgan dealer seems reasonable given it will have been checked over and warrantied.

Prices for the M3W are firming up as the early problems are known and addressed, the lack of interest in the EU4 and the rising price of the new ones make the 2nd hand models more desirable than they perhaps were a year or 2 back.








That's very interesting thank you, didn't realise it was ex vat. It also has the bright pack which was around 2.5k I think..
