Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Book on Four Seaters

There's a 4 seater hardtop in this month's Miscellany - but don't all rush because it needs work and has probably gone already.

Oh and it might not fit anyway.

Another customer,I find I am reading everything I can on Morgan's then a few months later read same again and pick out new tips to suit what I have found out to useful to my morgan.

I'll sign up for a copy
I agree with comments that the 4 seater is a more "practical" Morgan for the man who need to carry more "stuff" eg its a Grand Tourer.
Child ( Grand child in our case) & Dog friendly
I agree about the roof line when its up
BUT
I'm not a fan of the New improved 4 seaters lines


To each their own

I liked the 4 seater conversion that Simmonds carried out, essentially what looked like a 2 seater hood with the rear seats as a storage area and with weather protection for luggage etc.

Me neither - in particular the rear seats don't do it for me at all, however the hood is 100 times more attractive than on the older ones.

How about a "modified" 4 seater?
Remove rear seats to create storage area.
Lowline hood aka extended 2 seater hood to lower the rear hood height?

PeterJ.......re extra space in Aero Plu8....couple years ago I went to see a Roadster at Lifes.
Lovely car being sold for the owner.
His wife needed a wheelchair so he had got a coachbuilt box made and fitted on the rear, following the lines of the car not just a rectangular trunk.
It was removeable to allow a rack to be used too.
The main thing was it was designed to follow the lines/ contour of the car and looked like a part of the body not a bolt-on.
Something similar would work on your car I am sure.
The lack of " dog space " behind the Plus8 seats is a negative for me...how would I get 2 spaniels in?

How about Steve Miller's P4 in California??

Cheers,

The wheels are as interesting as the body/ute.

Now there's the answer to Peter's problem......

I think the Paul Simmonds hood evolved and became the current Morgan factory 4 seater hood

Might be wrong about that but it certainly looks similar and this is the sort of information that will hopefully come up in the research
