With a major c*ck up in the info regarding engine torque figures.
Yes I noted that as well G. Not the best of write ups IMHO and you would have thought that they would have included a decent photo of the other major change...the dashboard.

Turbos create a lot of heat, so the problems of cooling could be significant. Also, I do agree that a turbo does no seem to be in keeping with the values of a traditional Morgan.  Agreed, oh wise one! But a belt driven supercharger? Be interesting to talk to these people... Blower Morgan

FYI, Graeme Addie in MOGSouth has a blown Standard Special in his 1947 Series 1. He designed and built the blower himself!

I think Mogsport have supercharged engines successfully at well. More interesting than a turbo I think.

Just imagine the number of bonnet louvres that a turbo engined Morgan would require?

I agree, good to see the negatives brought out, but the engine benefits where repeated too many times for me and no mention of the reworked dash.

Ok, I am obviously missing something but what car is the 'naked' car on the stand. I thought the front end of the chassis, from the pics, made it a Plus 8 but some in the press say it's a Plus 4.
Eyesight failing . . .
