Use a rear wheel.............
And wear gloves....... Probably the best but I don’t want to put any lateral pressure on what is a very long threaded wheel bar and the welds on the bracket into the back of the Mog

Either of the rear rolling wheels I think Dave is alluding to.
I always use the spare but the 2 seaters mounting arrangement is a little more industrial grade I think.

Out of interest, how do the pit teams push these vintage priceless racing cars with thin light-weight panels in the paddocks at the Goodwood Revival?
Do they use the rolling wheels only? Has anyone made a mental note?

They seem to use that method a lot and of course the leverage is good with those huge wheels.

Is this in preparation for a new T shirt? I am aware of "I'd rather push an MG than drive a Triumph" or "Planked Floor, dark side of the shed"
Can I have mine in large please.
Here for a good time not a long time!!

does it say something that we have 25 posts on how to push a Morgan. Never seen that issue even mentioned with other brands though the dealer did give me a "how to" about closing the bonnet of the F type.

That aluminium is tougher than you think. On a level surface you don't have to worry too much. Before I could protest two burly workers on the ferry virtually lefted the front of my car by the mudguards to get the gearbox crossmember unjamed from a slot in the peak of a ramp. I was amazed that there was no damage.

Never tried push starting but push/pulling on the luggage rack or the bumpers is ok for manoeuvring around/in/out of the garage.

How do you open the boot?
