Music in a Morgan??? Surely that's what the engine and exhaust are for. Please of course the blood curdling screams from SWMBO when you just won't slow down. She doesnt scream. She simply starts reciting the Lords Prayer aloud, and thats far more offputting.  Does she get as far as the line about "the power and the glory" ? Sounds like an encouragement to me...

No sure about the legality, but Bose in ear noise cancelling headphones transforms the car from a growling sports car to a sophisticated tourer at the flick of a switch. They are equally good plugged into an iPod or the radio (assuming it has a headphone jack).

I don't think earbuds are a good idea when driving but we have music going in the car a good deal of the time. We also sometimes have the radio tuned to a station that gives traffic report.
Whatever the case when anyone asks a question about car stereo in a Morgan there is always a few unhelpful responses from people that think music is unnecessary in a Morgan.
I have music, I have aircon, I have modified the suspension, I put the hood up when it rains, I put the hood up when the sun is too hot. I guess I don't meet some people's expectation of a typical Morgan driver, but I like it like that.

This is my second verse
I have music, I have a powered subwoofer with active crossovers, I have a sports exhaust, I have a hood but I've forgotten what it looks like, and I like it all loud

I see yoofs, cruising down the road in their Clio with a 6 inch exhaust pipe and rap blasting out of the open window with the bass turned up to ( IMO) unbearable levels. I guess I must be getting old because one thing I appreciate riding the bike with earplugs in is the relative silence.

I like the sound of the motor and love hearing the rest of the bits as-well, but if I was going to put some tunes in my Morgan I would simply install Bluetooth speakers and play music from my iPod or iPhone.
