My 2011 4/4 sounds like it bottoms out but it is just the abnormally long seat bolts hitting the deck on certain types of road undulation, and yes in a straight line too.
I have fitted shorter bolts and painted the tip of every bolt under there with bright orange paint so I can tell what bit decks if it happens again. It has not done it since fitting the short bolts though. Come on John admit it, you really want to fit Titanium bolts and have nice sparks under braking like the F1 boys ;-).......types someone who once fitted Titanium 'hero blobs' the small protrusions on motorbike footrests so that they sparked on corners.....only because I was too old to get my knee down or I would have bought knee sliders with flints in....ROFL. How right you are, and that jogs my mind I do have some Ti washers from an Arrows F1, I could use those  I also fancied sparky knee sliders but could never bring myself to lean that hard into a corner either 
Cheers John

ROFL, I know what you mean....some of the lads I rode with used to drill holes in their knee sliders and Araldite flints in mind you they were hooligans....;-)

Also Bilstein dampers designed to work with the Morgans are pretty good and have inbuilt progressive bump stops that can really soften out the end of stroke. Does anybody have a reference number or stockist for the Bilsteins - I cannot find a Morgan reference on their web site ?

Does anybody have a reference number or stockist for the Bilsteins - I cannot find a Morgan reference on their web site ? Call Dan White at Suplex. He is a very nice guy and a Morgan owner. He hs a pretty good relationship with Bilsteins and I am sure he could advise.
