Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) changing from wires to steels?

I've done exactly the same-they're going to be fed up with us!

The Frontline MGB uses similar wheels. Might there be a back door?

Ok but what's about the damaged wheel ?

they've made all the 4/4 80th cars, that's why they're considering making my 4/4 any moment now!

The last of the Anniversary cars are in build now and a "normal" 4/4 is also in build.

You can't blame the factory or Image Wheels in refusing to supply the Anniversary wheels....to do so would take away some of the exclusivity of the 4/4 Anniversary cars.

Image do similar wheels as previously mentioned...the ones used on the LE50 as DaveW mentioned, are rather tasty and I'm contemplating those for Nero.

So when I get a quote from Image for their Billet 46 round hole wheels and Cain sorts out a quick fit aeroscreen arrangement for late model trads I will have a "mini" Speedster !!!

Come on Cain pull your finger out mate !!!!!

The mini speedster thing was how I got involved in buying a new Morgan. I tried to order one of the new 4/4 'speedsters' only to be told when I was at the factory they weren't legal and couldn't be sold and had been removed from the website. I pointed out that they were still in fact advertising the car on the website five minutes previously which was met with an embarrassed silence and a quick conversation with the MD ! All of which has led me to believe that in many respects Morgan doesn't always get its facts straight! I totally understand why they would want to keep the 80th wheels exclusively for that model, but personally I didn't care for most of the other features of the 80th (apart from the brooklands wheel) so I think it's worth asking the question, possibly more than once as they seem to make it up as they go along. If they have a pile of them left over in a couple of weeks they might well decide to sell them!

Update from Image wheels for information:

Billet 46 alloy round hole style for trad Morgan

wheels 340 pounds x 4
spline drive adaptors x4 500 pounds

delivery 25 pounds

+ vat = 2232 pounds inclusive

yikes!

they haven't replied to me!

Yes, they have-same info obviously, but with the addition that Morgan have asked them not to make the anniversary wheels generally available, as was pointed out that's entirely up to them but I wouldn't have wanted the 80th 4/4 as it wasn't to my taste, although I did really like certain of its features (the wheels particularly!)
