As we all know, driving a morgan out and about requires a bit of digital fettling with fingers getting trapped under tonneau covers, hood assembly’s, side screens and a whole manner of avoiding sharp metal bits, trap points and press studdedness

If you have office hands like mine then there is the odd occasion where a finger draws blood while messing about and usually involves much swearing

Anyway I was out in the Morgan taking it to the tennis club this week and cut my finger fettling the hood assembly on the back of a press stood while stuffing the hood and my hand blindly into what I thought was a pocket

Tip is to always keep a packet of plasters in the glove box or somewhere very accessible while driving

I do have a first aid kit buried in what is a boot under the hood but I only noticed the drip of blood while back driving and managed to create blood stains all over my tennis whites and magnolia leather cockpit as I tried to drive with my finger swapping between my mouth and gear shift

I had to stop in the end and make a bandage out of a face mask from the glove box as I don’t think I could have got to the first aid kit without further blood staining
