I am with you on the Crossflow thinking K, though as I have too often typed, it was the hoped for vintage driving experience that was the prime mover in my case having been so impressed by a LARGE engine roar of a vintage LM style Bentley as I followed down the side of Loch Tay... Thus a +8 it had to be, however it was touch and go between 4/4 and +8 until Lorne put me on to the Mog I now own.. I still look upon 4/4`s up to and including CVH engined types with a degree of contemplation... As for the V8, I also liked the American linkage aspects too.

Richard, I note the example you provided may be considered an improvement over my later +8, in terms of it`s basic spec, it has the smaller diameter wheels with larger sidewall tyres that may better match the..err.. limitations of the Trads suspension design, although taking a tad longer to respond to steering input and settle into a corner when pressing on? My later car with larger wheel and lower tyre aspect ratio tyre set-up is likely to have more direct steering and a smidge harder ride..?

Another aspect of the older Morgan you posted the link to Richard is that it is likely (unless modified) to have the prettier and easier polished SU carbs, and a choke cable, as opposed to the electronic choke on the less attractive Strombergs fitted to my Mog..

The KISS principle works better for this grumpy old man... oldgit laugh2
