I definitely should not read your report Peter. I have to keep telling myself that my next automotive purchase must be a 5 seater. Short list at the moment; BMW Series 2 XDrive with auto and paddles, Audi Q3, or a different thing entirely, Maserati Ghibli.

Peter, the really logical choice is this: Sensible 5 door 5 seater car Mid 2016 we plan to replace both the Mercedes E350 and BMW 320 X drive with one. That and the Plus 8 will be all we will need (or want)

my 4/4 sport has a piece of mesh over the "glove compartment" - factory fitted as standard - very useful & works well.
Am making a box to go in the passenger footwell at the moment to store things needed on board but not very often. Also serves as something for a passenger to brace feet on in corners. Thinks - should I add a dummy brake pedal?!!

There a few in cockpit negatives, The more difficult challenge is the insane open ended glove box under the dash. Quite how this has been allowed to exist is beyond me: all it needs is a small 10cmx 10cm square of aluminium
Same design as the Max, beyond me too and quite usless as a Glove box Yes, and too small for the service folder to fit in without poking out through the open section at the back. A glove box that is open at the back as well as the front - surely a unique piece of Morgan design. I suspect it is unique not only in the annals of Morgan design, but within the industry. I'm going to solve this one, even if it is a piece of netting glued over the opening from the outside! Actually I shall see if I can craft a piece of aluminium to fit in place, held by a "L" shaped bracket at the bottom bolted to the floor of the glove box. Access is possible, it "only" means laying down head first into the foot-well to measure up, check the fit and then install. Such repeated contortions, these days, mean taking ibuprofen for a couple of days after the event Age shall not weary him, it just makes him ache!! Looks like if the seats aren't coming out then the dashboard might be!

The more difficult challenge is the insane open ended glove box under the dash. Quite how this has been allowed to exist is beyond me: all it needs is a small 10cmx 10cm square of aluminium attached to the base of the glove box. Easy in construction but very difficult now. Whenever you decide to improve the dash, look here... When I saw this "live" I was simply amazed. Congrats again for your Plus8!!!!!
