I think the owners were made to feel a bit special and thats what its all about, good marketing and feelgood factor especially when you hand over one point three million.I had a free baseball cap when i bought my new plus four.
Em You were lucky. We asked if we could have the duster with Morgan on it when we bought the Plus 4 SS & got a resounding no - you did well!  That's because it's not just a normal duster The edge stitching is done using a special thread spun from the aluminium shavings cut from the bonnet louvre slits, wound into thread on a special spinning wheel powered by an S&S twin cylinder engine I hope it's had the Stage 3 conversion.

Seems to me that this film showed one thing , just how daft are the valuations of the old cars. When you can produce something identical for one fifth of what the old ones sell for then the price of the old has to be daft.

Em My second Morgan baseball cap ended up somewhere on the A556 near Northwich after a very exuberant test drive of the Speedster. I pass my respects to that one too.

If it was painted in the same studio, using the same paints, by relatives of the artist and was identical.... should it go in the Tate?  I was having a conversation on the subject of the E Type 'continuation' over lunch- it's an interesting subject.
