The Three Wheeler is in a league all of it's own albeit that is all ok now. This Plus Four had the upgrades done like all others including new radiator. All of the holes in the uprights either side of the windscreen corroded and the uprights were replaced. Apparently the holes were too small for the bolts that were inserted resulting in a crack in the paint. I think the holes are bigger on more recent cars but I would urge anyone with a car as old or older than mine to check. Mine was built in Nov 2021 Everyone needs to keep their eyes on that one because I think it's common. The seals on the doors are next to useless in that water gets into the footwells. Despite going to Morgan twice the wind from the passenger side is unbearable on the driver when there is no passenger never mind the passenger. On the passenger side the panel in between the front of the door and the bonnet there was what appeared to be a large blister. It went in for repair before Christmas. Came out perfect and it has now already reappeared so it's going back again. It cannot be corrosion so suspect it's a stress thing from the door. I had the fuel filler cap problem too but that is now sorted. The windscreen heater elements as on my previous ones has already started to break down. Four of the lines don't work so I'm keeping my eye on that.

Albeit I am very disappointed I do agree the car itself is better than the trads I had previously. I know somebody will jump on me now and say "ahh but it's a Morgan". To that I say cobblers it was £80,000 and I don't expect more wind on me in the cabin than the trads I had previously. It's a design fault without a shadow of a doubt and on the gale entering the cabin the Trads win hands down.
