The Morgans in photos from the show do not appear to have modified steering.

The very reasonable from Mark Evans raises a valid concern with the USA design that would be quite easy for the USA developer to rectify.

Without a doubt Morgan have now acknowledged there is a problem under some circumstances, all be it in a very ham fisted way. There are several design issues with the original system, particularly when fitted with Spax dampers. It seems that the promised improvement for 2014 is not yet ready for public presentation and is still under development and testing. Just my guess wink

At least the first hurdle has been overcome, that is the recognition that an improvement is needed.

Hi Mario.
The photo I have seen taken by a dealer last month shows a modified suspension upright very similar to the one shown in the e-mail to Rivette although the mounting bracket for the mudguard is much neater.

I assume that as the 2014 model shown on the stand at the NEC had the current upright, the mod is not yet ready for release. Although, as mentioned a while ago, the car used in the Albert Ball video, provided by MMC did have to modification.

As someone wittily remarked elsewhere on this forum, the first step in answering the question "How does one eat an elephant?" is to acknowledge that there is an elephant in the room.

Interesting that the Brookland's edition has the steering wheel fitted at "12 o'clock" (I think) - meaning it has been re-drilled?
I'm asking santa for one for Christmas but specifying that I would like it to sit at 12 o'clock and not ten-to-two

Great to see....Thanks Jays. Sadly, I won't be able to visit the show this year.

It's easy to see why these cars would create a great deal of interest at the show. They are so desirable looking.

The polished body is such a stunning show car. Dark red leather would have topped this one though, IMHO

Hi Vspec

It was easy to change my Brooklands SW to the 12oclock position.

I had to take the Boss off (easy) and just a little filing of one corner to make it fit and bingo done! took about 10-15 mins that all!! laugh2

I thought new holes would be needed but it sounds like they are already there?
