Yesterday, I had an enjoyable and eventful run out to Bell and Colvil for them to look at a couple of outstanding issues with our Plus 4. Firstly I went to the wrong facility, I had been told but didn't pay attention and went to Horsley instead of Guildford. Anyway, I got there and parked up amongst the McLarens - it seems that they are like backsides these days ..... everybody's got one - the four seater looked properly dinky next to those sweeping big boys and a nearby three wheeler looked like a beautiful toy.

One of the issues that we needed help with was the fitting of the tonneau, when presented to the car it appeared to be 75mm too short. There is of course a trick to fitting it and I will try to post a video of the method on this forum so that others can benefit.

On the return trip I managed to get caught in the first real rain shower we've had for months, it is impressive how much water a four seater will ship in about a kilometre of driving and so spent a pleasant half hour or so mopping it all out. Guitars need hydrating every 20 years or so and I'm hoping the same logic applies to Morgans. The car has clocked up 7860 miles, just 10 miles shy of 3000 in our tenure and is settling in very nicely. I believe that it is smoother, quieter and a little quicker than when we first picked it up and I'm looking forward to the next few thousand, it seems to be getting better all the time. New boots this afternoon, Avon ZV7s going on all round.
