Being relatively new to Morgan ownership - well very new as I’ve only had the car 4 weeks - working out how to carry luggage for road trips is a topic of conversation in our house. Costs for bespoke luggage are eye watering so for our first road trip - a short jaunt to Wales where we are bound to get wet - we will use bags that are reportedly waterproof.

I’ve read through posts about high level brake light mods and trawled the web for photos to see what others use

But in your photos where are you keeping the side screens?



I have a 4/4 Sport, which has a high level brake light built in but has a luggage rack lower than the normal one, as there isn't a spare wheel for it to sit over or a carrier for side screens. I bought a custom trunk from Mossman, it fits perfectly on the luggage rack without restricting the rear view. I think I modified a cardboard box as a prototype to get the dimensions. I have an LED brake light strip which attaches to the trunk with velcro. When the trunk isn't on I carry the spare wheel (can't do both) and attach the brake light to bits of velcro on two leather straps that I put through the rack and round the wheel, this also makes it more difficult to casually remove the spare. The wiring for the brake light was there when I bought the car, I presume it is in parallel with the built in one, I just had to work out what connector it was.

I typically leave side screens on when touring. The sport models have a bit of luggage space where the spare would be, it doesn't take the side screens entirely but gives enough room to let them sit on the shelf behind the seats in a bag.
