As for the effectiveness of brakes in old and perhaps even new Morgans without the benefit of ABS... Stamp on them hard as most of us lesser drivers seem likely to do in an emergency and it seems the wheels are likely to lock...? Been there done that.

I have typed before on here that Colin AKA "Spanner Juggler" and I had a discussion on the benefit of upgrading a Trad to multi piston calipers, my question was that if stamped on in an emergency would they just cause the discs lock up sooner than the original calipers..?

.From a very dull memory Colin being well experienced in driving in competition and much else, determined that there was improved feel and thus overall general better braking performance if caliper and disc upgrades were incorporated..
