Maybe a good question for Steve Morris on 30th!



I asked a very similar question back in March of last year while at the Geneva Salon Press event.

This has been mentioned before and apparently the wheels are just popped on to move the cars around. They are properly sorted and the end of the line.

Incidentally, the suspension was developed for SP1 and extensively tested with a series of drivers driving different iterations on the test car (a Roadster 3.7L) and then subsequently used by the race team, though the Watts linkage was changed for a Panhard rod as they preferred its operation. Otherwise the suspension is pretty much unchanged and it did have external input, also with an ex-Lotus F1 designer who breathed on it. The SP1 design:

That's interesting info Brian , sounds like a bullet proof suspension and input from Lotus F1 as well ! Looking forward to getting mine when it arrives , latest estimate late Jan, early Feb !

Had a quick look in at Morgan Factory today to see my car in trim. Lots of ARP4s nearing completion. Engine sounds very nice, quite quiet on start-up and at low speed but sounds eager.

A few random pictures, including one driving!
