On the downside, when the time comes for the car to be classed as a historic vehicle then unless it has the original engine, it won't be classed as a historic vehicl

With series Land Rovers its been established that conversion to any engine that was factory fitted to the basic model range is allowable. The most extreme example being fitting a Rover V8 to replace a 2.3 petrol or diesel
without affecting the historic status. This being justified because the stage one V8 variant was introduced during series production.
The other point is that almost any modification does not impinge on historic status if it was carried out 30 years or more previously. Not sure how either of these facts affect this Morgan though.
