Hello Nicholas
Welcome to the forum. I am not sure but i think a 1981 4/4 will be the Ford Crossflow engine, with a Ford gearbox , which might be familiar to you from your Lotus 7 experience. The back axle is a Salisbury 7HA which can tricky to source parts.
Parts are available for the body , chassis , suspension and brakes from many sources in the UK , not sure about France, but just ask for whatever you need and we will point you in the right direction.

Good Morning Nicholas - I have the same model of car, but it is 1989, and has a Ford CVH engine.
The French Morgan Club is very strong, and are a very friendly group.
I wish you many miles and smiles in your Morgan. It certainly has bought me joy.

With a stop at the factory on the way 31 years after Mr Toad left it :-) Funny to see how Royal Ivory is still a popular color nowaday Perhaps even more than BRG

Hello Nicolas & welcome to Morganland.
Your 4 seater is a beauty & Old English White is a colour that suits a plain-wheel car perfectly.
If you are looking for top-drawer restoration & mechanical services, don't hesitate to pop over to Brussels (1 hour drive from Lille) for a talk with Thomas Stammet of Garage Albert, Belgium's sole Morgan importer. They have a lot of clients from France.
