I don’t think the quality of the genuine ones has been all that brilliant but I do feel that this is a probably an Indian copy as Brian said - EBay seems to list a few

Melvin Rutter (Mog Parts) will send one out to you Uther

That’s a very kind offer Richard, If you have time to do that I would be very grateful. If you are able to, please let me know the cost including postage so I can re-imburse you. At least that way I will get a good one smile . The more I looked at this one the worse it looked, it has even been cast with the M. and N having bent legs.

No problem at all John that way I can check it before shipping it's so disappointing when this sort of thing happens I know, I'll pm you when it's at the forwarding on stage. thumbs.

John, This didn't come from Morgan Cars Australia surely...


Sadly it did, incredibly disappointing.
The springs at least look good and have the correct 4 seater 4 leaf code stenciled on them, as shown in Dave’s excellent article on replacing them.

That's a disgrace and shows utter contempt for the local customer base.

Pride and reputation as an official Morgan dealer must surly have dictated there is no way that can be sent to a client.

Australian Morganeers will not be pleased to hear this news.
