I have a 2007 build 4/4 with white instrument dials.
However, the odometer does not have a trip meter, and this makes it difficult when we do charity car runs where directions and distances are given in tenths of a mile.
Does anyone know if it is possible to retro fit one?

Are you sure you don't have a trip. My new to me 07 4/4 trip needs a lot of pressing on the button to get any response. It does work but it makes you work first.
.+8 Now gone for a 1800 4/4. Duratec in bright yellow.

If you have a smart phone are you allowed to use this ? There are plenty of applications you can download that can provide this using GPS. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/marine-car-time-trials/id1398732890?mt=8

Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

What make is the speedo?
Smiths or VDO?
Being secondhand who knows what the previous owner did? If it is a Smiths then there should be a reset button on a flying lead that protrudes through the lower plastic cover.

Bertie 1,
Try looking under the front edge of the dashboard, there should be a small black button. This will activate the trip.
It took me a year to find out about mine.
Here for a good time not a long time!!

Thanks for all the ideas.
No hidden buttons, and no flying leads, so best option might be the app for smartphone.

Hi,
I found my trip button today, it's tiny and it was under the rev counter :-)
I was scared to press it at first as I wasn't sure what it would do, (maybe a hidden ignition cut off or something similar) but it was my trip meter. I'm so pleased.
Thanks guys, these threads are so useful :-)

Late to this thread, but may be of use
We use a free app called Rally Tripmeter (it's symbol is a chequered flag) designed by Siim Plangi
It's accurate and very easy to use & vital when you do tulip maps in a 50 yr old Mini

And for a 2005 Roadster as you can't see the odometer & to work the trip you need very thin fingers that bend oddly. A great app
