In a cramped footwell, people with Hobbit feet need all the help they can get.
Exactly Dave!

My old '76 (4 speed box) had reasonable footwell space so I didn't need different footwear. Later 5 speed footwells are much narrower, requiring narrow footwear. PITA having to change shoes to drive, but just another part of the Morgan driving experience.
People with paddles, size 11½ ,instead of feet need a lot of help too!
Dave. Do you have a throttle pedal or the standards lever with the roller? I have been wondering about fitting a pedal but I don't want to unintentionally press the throttle pedal together with the brake 😲
