Here's my solution. The case cost A$35.00 from a second hand store and the version 2 strap on light I made for less than A$20.00....

Ah yep, cheers Oz and Michael.
I will certainly look into getting something like that plumbed in.

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. https://www.brics.it/en-gb/catalog/index/collection/all-collections/bellagioHmmm... I'm ashamed to show a picture! Let me say: On longer trips in Norway etc. we use a 140L aluminum box (for the very light travel baggage like Fleece bankets etc.)

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). Unfortunately I don't think they are trading anymore, somebody please correct me if I am wrong

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 My solution here: Norway travel kit - Brake light http://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/338771/“Norway_Travel_Kit”_#2#Post338771

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  James They look mighty fine

I used to - when we used a large case on the rack. The panniers do not obscure the high level brake light - there is a gap between them. There is a plug and socket near the base of the cobra lamp. If you buy the right connectors (off eBay) you can make up a “Y” cable so that the extra light plugs in to the system with no permanent modifications to your car wiring. One other solution I have seen is to mount a brake light on the luggage rack at the rear of the car. With some racks this is high enough and no need for a removable lamp.
