I agree with you Tim, the idea and style is down to the owner and He or She has obviously had some concept or particular style that they are trying to emulate.
I think it looks great in it's own way and I wish we could attract more of this type of owner onto TM to broaden it's outlook.
But given some of the comments on here, I suspect they will steer well clear which is a shame.

I think it is well executed but I don't like it. As I said each to his own.

It’s a sort of Marmite thing. Having said that, I looked at it initially and thought that’s nice but now I am in between!

I like the type of grill, but not on a Morgan. Look at the BMW, there it fits:

I’ve seen it in the flesh a couple of times.....it looks better than in a photo. I’d not have dropped the grill quite so low but as Tim says there are some nice details on the car. I like the twin bonnet straps and the mirrors.

Yeah, don't diss the twin straps.. EVER.. Not sure about the need for two straps. After all, you only need one belt to hold your trousers up!!

It is different and puts me in the mind of the interim models, I've never seen the point in the bonnet belts unless you are trialing myself + they add weight.

The bonnet straps do make the car look more “classic” and retro. See the what makes a car classic thread!

Oh no not again ! They do make them look more classic in the sense that they scuff the paint off  .
