Well that's experience still protecting you which is good news. Glad you were able to get out of it so well. I have often wondered how well the old fashioned chassis of a Trad would respond to an accident and I am very impressed by how well the tub remained intact and the nose took the hit.
I often worry that the Morgans are low down in streams of traffic and so may be seen as a "gap" by someone blending in a rush. I prefer to leave my headlamps on to improve things but sometimes feel it is a little bit "look at me".
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I was at 60mph but slowed to 40 in case someone pulled out (years of motorcycle riding) and just when I thought “OK he’s seen me” he just pulled out giving me no time to stop. I’ve always thought that junction was tricky if turning right and more so now as there are more cars on the road although there is good clear sight up both ways and especially up towards Ilkley But what can you do if someone just pulls out at the last minute Bugga all The other tricky junction is just up half a mile from this one with cars coming up out of Skipton past the castle turning onto the A59 Years ago when the bypass first opened it was a nightmare (it was part of my driving test route) but now they’ve put a central reservation to pull into which makes it less problematic

A good case for LED DRL's. The 3.7 Roadster already has position lights on with ignition, but as standard front ones are feeble 5 watt filament bulbs in headlamp reflector.
