Richard. It shouldn’t leak with the hardtop, but there again it is a Morgan!  Well Taffmog it certainly does seem to be a right of passage it's true  .

From the Morgan press release on the GT and talking to a dealer the GT is a stock S5 with reworked body. At least that's what is being interpreted from information available.
So.......in essence.........a sheep in wolfs clothing !!!
I could have been tempted. BUT I never liked the S5 hard top. I just think it looks odd. The roof on the GT is likely to be a similar shape. If there is a wing I kinda feel it cheapens it.........except it doesn't!!! At £150k I think I'd rather have an Aero Max. Best wait to see the finished article in March.

I didn't fancy any of the brochure colour options for the hard top - & what I got from the factory isn't quite what I ordered, but it's what the factory did & there seems to be no room for a discussion. anyway... it's a different colour from the rest of the car because I agree, it looks a little odd if you try to make it look like part of the car.  Now that Williams have fettled the fit, it doesn't bounce or bang, or leak (so far). & I should retake the photos, because the doors now fit properly too. & now that it fits properly, I'm using the hardtop in this cold & damp weather. I wouldn't be surprised to find it's the default setup from November to the first bright day in the new year. It's most noticeable flaw is wind noise - I wouldn't be surprised to find myself relining the hardtop, with some added sound insulation.

I like the look of the lid on the car.
In black it looks like old fashioned leather top.
That leads me to wonder if covering it with black leather-cloth, as on a 1970s Ford Capri, would look good?
For sound insulation, 5mm dynamat under a nice coordinated fabric would look good and be a lot quieter.

Oh yes, had that on the Dolomite Sprint - jolly "The Professionals" mind you I never had sideburns or flares.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Your hard top shape looks a little different (and better) to the current version unless it is the angle of the photograph. I find the wind noise with the roof up to be much more than on earlier versions.

So the car is pre-owned? 😈 “........ Each of the eight cars – all already sold to existing Morgan customers......”

Yes i am also finding the description very confusing. They are all sold but we are selling one. The spec is also very weak for £150k in my opinion.
