Is it me or am I alone in finding the original headlights more than ok for night time driving ?
No, I've always found them adequate too! Me too. I've never felt the need to charge about the place at high speeds at night so the standard H4 halogens are fine for me.

No, I've always found them adequate too! Me too I’ve been tempted just for aesthetic reasons but the light from the lens on mine which is factory standard is absolutely fine And then when I put the main beam on and spots come on then I feel like I’m lighting the world

When you say the wheel centres were changed under warranty, do you mean the brass spinner nuts?
What was wrong with them Bob? Kenny - no it was the steel hub centres that are bolted in from the rear face of the wheel. They were slightly tarnished but not corroded so was told that they would be replaced under warranty. I didn't argue.

Bring the whole car  When is your tour? 1st Feb Graham. I went round years ago - probably 1990ish. Be interesting to see what has changed (if anything) in almost 30 years.

I think the problem with many main dealers is they don't have space to keep every car indoors and leave even almost new cars like MX17 outside. It takes its toll. I bought a pre reg demo Lotus off them too which had lost its slot in the showroom and that needed a fettle too. Again I hope you and the car become best mates and I'm glad a nice bloke now owns it!!

You'll see a lot of changes then. Enjoy.

Good News!! Morgan has solved the paint finish quality issues on the inside face of their painted 80th Anniversary wheels as ably demonstrated by my long awaited spare wheel which has arrived after a 5 month wait. The have addressed the issue by NOT FLIPPING PAINTING IT AT ALL    To cap it off the wheel has been supplied without the centre hub adapter which is bolted in from the rear  Waiting to hear back from the supplying dealer. I'm hoping that I can take back direct to MMC on Friday when I go on my weather postponed factory tour to save the risk of damage with much postal tooing and froing. Lets just say that I'm feeling somewhat miffed....
