Peter, owner I got the wreck taken back to the factory for them to see how good and safe it was. I think the factory should use it for promotion - there are very few cars in which the driver would survive a 130 mph crash( closing speed) let alone get out without a scratch!,

That is quite amazing. It makes me feel a lot better given the build process and materials mean it should retain its strength for a long period unlike many steel cars.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Incredible
Very sad about the other driver but at a closing speed of 130 that’s certainly impressive to get out without a scratch

Thanks for the back story, sad the other car driver lost his life.
Quite a testament to the strength of the new breed of chassis.

Robbie, did the owner not also have his dog in the car with him? I remember one wreck coming back to MMC last year after such a head on, not that I really saw much of the car. It was hidden away fairly quickly

Personally, I would only say it’s of interest to someone who wants a spare boot lid! Even so, cat B specifies “bodyshell should be crushed”
