You know, I've met Steve Miller several times. He even signed my Rasmussen book. Allen, I particularly like your two-tone color combination, and am thinking of going that way myself while keeping the creme-colored wheels. Thanks so much for all the help, friends.
Now that I think is interesting Reminds me of a farmer in Northern Victoria near Wodonga when I lived there in the 70's, he used to carry sheep around in the back of his 450 SLE convertable
As someone who has a perennial problem with this, it's interesting to see the different positions owners have used for their rear registration plates.
I notice in Allen's picture that although his plate is hung from the top of the luggage rack the number plate light is still in its standard position below the bumper. The plate in Richard's picture is above the bumper but similarly not illuminated. Neither would get through a British M.O.T.
In order to meet the test requirements of visibility, I annually remove my back registration plate and remount it on a bracket that lowers it by a few inches. Digimap's appears to be in this position but I find in general use it has a high risk of grounding, particularly when reversing off of my sloping drive.
I have yet to work out why this is a problem specific to that era of 4-seaters.

Ian I do scrape both the rear and front plate, interestingly in my thread on tyres I noticed a lot of people are talking 16" tyres on their cars, I checked mine and found I have 15" and now I am not sure what is standard.

Mark, Funny you said that--I like your all black car so much I'm thinking of painting my car the same.
Now that's rather interesting! I took an old guy round the factory a couple of days ago on a tour. He worked for Morgan back in the late 50s and 60s, mainly in the machine shop. The first thing he asked me was did we still have the 4/4 pickup truck! He use to drive it to race circuits with spare tyres for Peter Morgan.
Jays Former Morgan owner. Gone but hopefully not forgotten!
