Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Luggage solutions

Hi folks

Me and Treacle are getting excited about or first trip out in the Mog when we get her home and thoughts have turned to luggage.

We quite like the look of these, and they match the car colour of black and crome or mulberry.

Securing them wouldn't be an issue and they seem to me to be quite robust. I can make a weatherproof cover for them if needed too.

I suspect most people use softer bags etc but I really like the look of these.Any pitfalls with hard luggage ?

Looks good to me

A rigid case looks better than a soft case on the back of a Mog in my opinion

I had the black leather Morgan case for my last Mog which when I packed it full for a holiday, hurt my back lifting it

So a nice light weight case is definitely good

I agree that the Morgan leather cases are unreasonably heavy. Ours now sits on a shelf in the garage.

Our solution is an enormous Brics Bellagio. Not withstanding the excess volume still manages to fill it up, if not with excess clothing that comes home still clean then with shopping purchased on the trip



Here it is rigged for wet weather with the optional cover. The zip is almost completely concealed and even without the cover is shower proof. With the cover we have never had a drop of water enter the case.



Damned expensive but light, strong, and very nice. I did consider getting 2 smaller trolleys and putting them side by side on the luggage rack (a his-and-hers solution) but that would have been quite costly even though, in the end, it would still be my preferred option.

They look good.

It's also well worth looking at the Hillsalive fitted luggage for the space behind the seats. they are excellent and remarkably capacious. (search this forum for info on these).

I totally agree with Gambalunga.

If you are looking for something with a classic look, I can also recommend the Brics trolleys.

I have the 27" trolley. Although it is rainproof, I use a rain cover for safety when it rains. So far everything has always stayed dry.

For long journeys we put a drybag on top of it (we have a dog with us and the space behind the seats as storage space is largely omitted):

Paul F has a good solution, especially as you can share the carrying. Photos will arrive soon I expect. Here's my solution, I have to allow for bulk luggage

I use Givi panniers. Click into place, waterproof and locked on.


Since this picture was taken, I have bought a lowline luggage rack which sits the cases 6” lower.

apologies as not much use for a Trad. , but this was the official Morgan solution for the Series 1 ,Aero 8 -



They are fitted to the boot shape, canvas and brown leather and very well made (in Italy).

Stupidly expensive originally, but we picked them up from the Morgan stall at the three Counties show ground at a more reasonable price

Cheers paul. One thing that concerned me was view through the mirror with a case with depth..

Cheers Folks

Another question

Do any of you use a removable brake light and stick it on the luggage ?

My car has a cobra head light which I think is very useful given the low line of the other lights ! With a case this would then be obscured
