Didn't Brian have a reduced height windscreen on his plus 8?

Also I notice the silver speedster has side exit exhaust but without the wind cut outside.

Thank you very much !

I didn't knew that we can order the car with two roof style

Just a point on roll-hoops & storage.

Not sure if you have, or are considering roll-hoops - as fitted to the Speedster. They take up a proportion of the storage space behind the seats, so you need to think about where you would store the trad hood when its off. I my case, Williams made a hood bag, which is strapped to the rear rack. Also, I'm not sure if or how roll-hoops may work with an easy-up hood given the clearance tolerances when opening and closing hood. In my case, with the traditional hood, its worked out well.

Do you have any pics ? please

I think that Neil has already advised you that the first car is the standard model with the normal 'easy-up' hood. The last three photos show cars with the reduced height screen and the traditional style hood with 11-studs, as fitted by Morgan Hamburg.

My car has the Morgan Hamburg lowered screen and an 11-stud hood developed by MMC for my car, you can see we did a different rear screen treatment and TBH it also fits much better and so far, does not leak!



'Scuse the quality of the photos, but they are all I've uploaded to Photobucket so far.

Regarding the roll bar, MMC have developed and fitted a single roll bar that fits under my hood, so I guess would easily fit under an 'easy-up' hood, but I have not taken any photos of this as yet. It is different to the Speedster roll-hoops as it is one hoop that is the width of the car and thus does not compromise the storage space behind the seats. MMC now have this design on CAD/CAM so can replicate it if anyone so desires.

Lastly, let me say that the lowered screen and hood and the roll-bar are all bespoke items and not a separate model, and thus MMC can fit them to your car but be prepared for quite a bit extra

Brian, your car is awesome, it looks superb ! As we say in French, "une merveille"

Sad to learn we have to pay an (huge) extra for that

Interesting too to learn that MMC has developed and fitted a single roll bar that fits under the hood. I though it was impossible.If you have any pics, I take it

Thanks a lot

Brian, Agree. your bar seams like the better option given the storage restriction on Speedster hoop design. My 11-stud was also c/o Morgan Park (but normal height). They also offered a folding front screen and Brooklands option which at the time I (..or should I say my wife an I) decided against, but I'm now being drawn back the idea - if it doesn't involve any mod to my hood - it's great and I don't want to compromise it.

Many thanks Corsu for your kind comments, I must say I'm delighted with my car. I'll try and take some photos tomorrow and post them so that you can see the roll-bar in situ.

I have seen this car at the factory and can tell u it's awesome!

I really like the studded hoods and the way the body line is so much cleaner. I don't have a problem with RHD here, I suppose it is what one is used to but swapping between the LHD family car and the RHD Morgan seems easy. Laying back a bit also allows for that long inside view.
