Thats a really nice image. Nice composition

Could someone do me a favour please.

Im looking for the frame outer dims. Just the section the case will sit on.
Couple of feet square, maybe ?

I prefer a waterproof soft bag & Hills alive cases behind the seats. We did a 3 week trip to Sorrento & back with that set up.

The big advantage is it doesn't block the third brake light & rearwards vision is not impaired.

What a lovely place you chose to photograph the luggage. Really good light

Where was it taken?

I've just got my first Morgan and wonder, does the extra weight at the back cause any problems e.g. bottoming out or back becoming tail happy

Hi John
What make is your soft bag and how do you secure it to the mog? Is it waterproof? Do you have to remove it every time you leave the car parked eg logo breaks on longer journeys/shopping in town?
Sorry to ask so many questions but as we are taking delivery soon and have some trips booked thought I'd try and get ahead of the game a bit.
Thanks in advance

We hold it onto the rack with surfboard straps that lock from Kanulock.

The bag came from here

We went through several wet days including a thunderstorm in Naples that had standing water up to the running boards & all stayed dry in the bag.

I also fitted a stainless eye bolt to the rear passenger floor & have a stainless steel rope with soft eyes on it so I can padlock the Hills alive cases to the car when on the back shelf.

I think the spec on the rack in 25kg.
It can alter the handling if you have a heavy load at the back.

Hi ,

Well it's not really aerodynamic but it is British made, absolutely vintage, I made it watertight, added removable tea cart wheels and it does take a lot of pairs of shoes.

Peter,
On the eastern boundary of my farm at Wingham on the New South Wales mid north coast about 4 hours drive north from Sydney.

It's the spot I call the "grave yard garden" where all the left over odds and sods from the main garden are planted.
The Manning river winds through the bush land in the background. this photo was taken the day before I took off on a 6 week tour of Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia with members of the West Australian Morgan car club.
