Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) 'Top 10' mods to do on a 'standard' Plus 4?

Great idea for a thread

In no particular order and not exhaustive

John Taylor’s (Morgan Hoods) aka Phoenix Design Door mirrors so you can actually see behind on your nearside
Wolf Performance bonnet Stays
Towel (because you always know where you are with a towel)
John Taylor (Morgan Hoods) storm cover
Stainless Mesh grill (because you won’t get all upset over fishing out debris from behind the grill and hides stuff stuck on your radiator
Towel
Three eared wheel spinners (because they look cool if you’ve ever followed a car with them on at a relatively low speed) (not essential I just like them)
Towel
Wolf Performance side screen knob spanner (because it’s shiny and much easier to use than a Tommy bar which can slip out and damage your paintwork
Wolf Performance pump up lumbar seat bladders (mega for backs and so easy to fit)
Towel
Couple of small tins of your paint colour and a colour code or name and year that any paint mixing company can understand and keep it safe
A set of quality transparent fuses that you can actually see if they’ve blown
Towel
ACF50 to dribble along wing beading and into cracks regularly
Tectyl 506 spray to spray on any mods under the Mog when you are under to ward off the rust - it’s translucent amber so you can see through it to inspect condition but coloured so you know it’s there - much better than black stuff
Trowel (good for gardening)
Meguairs Ultimate Quik Detailer (I now use it all the time instead of water washing unless it’s really dirty)

Small interior mirror.
Replacement door mirrors.
Underwing protectors.
Mulfab steering bearings.
Stainless crossmember covers.
Librands door checks.
Replacement tool tray.
Storm cover.
Battery conditioner lead.
Front valance of some type.
Luggage rack.

I would say drive it as it is for year or two. Once you've got a good few thousand miles under your belt, then you'll have a much better idea of how you want your car to be. But if you haven't got one yet, get a John Taylor storm cover.

I understand you very well. It's a lot of fun to equip, enhance or beautify your Morgan. But if you allow yourself a little time, you can appreciate, classify and enjoy the result much better in a year or even in two years.

Personally, and later on I would start with the smaller things, e.g. brake reaction bars, maybe a K&N filter insert, high octane fuel, later then adjustable shock absorbers, etc. I would never start with single throttle valves, that would be rather something for the last measures.

An honest question, are you satisfied and can you enjoy your car as it is. Or are there already areas that you would like to change because something is bothering you? If not, take it easy and just enjoy her.

If you play music, imagine you've been playing guitar for a year only, you can't really appreciate what distinguishes a 1961 ES335 from a 2018 Indonesian Epiphone. That's just a comparison, and I respect your desire for development and change very well.
