It might be styling...but Morgan should be all about long louvred bonnets in my view. There's something rather nice sitting in the car in heavy traffic looking at the heat shimmering out of the upper louvres!

The view down the long louvered bonnet is almost worth the entire price of the car.

Yup! Would rather be looking at an empty road ahead than watching the heat effect on the view of another car, but hey, each to his own!!

Only if you drive with the bonnets open...  sounds like a "gull-wing" Morgan to me.......

You know wot I mean G! Takes ones mind off the heavy traffic! I have to agree with this as well. Better to be stuck in heavy traffic with a nice view down the bonnet than in a modern car where you can't usually even see the bonnet. That's one of the things I dislike about modern cars the most - the disappearing bonnets.
