Have had this 1988 4/4, wide aluminum body, for about 10 years now, finally all well sorted. Runs just fine, lot of performance when I ask for it.
Now I am looking into several odd details about this car and wondering if there is some common ground with other owners, Herewith my list:
1. VIN SA904/4000MM004008 was printed on hundreds of Morgan VIN plates in the 80s & 90s, Do you have one?
2. My car has dual brake servos, front & rear, I have heard of this on a few Plus 8 cars but never a 4/4, Why did Morgan do this?
3. Dual petrol filler caps, I have heard this was for a rally car that could be refueled from either side. I have also heard this is to eliminate air bubbles when refueling.
As I am only the third owner and the previous two owners were elderly gents(one has passed and the other made no modifications). I can only guess these modification either came from the factory or were installed by the first owner. The second owner received the car with only 3800 miles on the clock, it had been parked for a long while, but I do not know how long.. Morgan factory chassis record give no insight here.
