Welcome to the forum Dani.
The Sigma engined 4/4 Sport is a really nice car , in many way it is closer to the original 4 wheel Morgan concept than the "fully specced" cars.
It is light , great handling and an engine that really likes to rev.
Enjoy it to the max

Thank you MOG 615
yes that i do a lot.
The car runs so great.
I just done a couple of day ago the timing belt etc. Now i am trying to find out how the engine get more cold air.
My first try to mod the air intake was OK. Before it was around 52 C now i have it at 40 C aprox.
But i want testing more Options so i am not getting bored with the car. LOL

Hi Dani!
I started with a Triumph Spitfire and ended up in a Morgan 4/4Sport, 2011 production.
Seems we have something in common!
I had a great tour from Barcelona to Bilbao, further San Sebastian to Andorra and back to Austria this June.
Spain and Morgan fit well together!

Welcome Dani. You have made a good choice.
I too had a Mk3 Spitfire - I seem to remember that it needed a lot of body work to keep its shape.

Welcome indeed Dani... My first car was a MK 1 Healy Sprite (Frog Eye) it seems you have progressed to some extent in your fun car choices as have I, and I suspect I agree with Mog 615 who suggests the 4/4 is perhaps the sweet spot for the design of a Morgan 4 wheeler...Whereas I have a +8, and it has suited me well for relaxed touring France Italy and of course Spain, having driven from Santander down through Madrid, staying at Chinchon and on down to Los Romanes where we stayed for a while before heading up home via a bit of Portugal... Spain is a wonderful country for Morganeering....ENJOY..

Thank you all. Its fantastic place to drive Morgan. I am living on Mallorca and yes I think that the Morgan likes it here.  It feels always like a little time journey and I love it. Usually I am using most of the time small roads. That fells the best.

Hi Dani
Welcome to the club from Scotland. I very recently joined the forum and have found, as I'm sure you will, lots of help and advice is available. I can fully understand the need to improve the cooling in your Morgan, on my first holiday abroad in Mallorca we hired seat panda 🐼, Drove up some stunning mountain roads and stopped to take in the views at the top, I turned off the ignition, exited the car, locked it and walked away. The engine was so hot it continued to run for around a minute or two !!! We began to wonder if it was ever going to stop.
Enjoy your time driving in your beautiful island, very jealous !!!

Hello Dani, welcome to the forum. Wife and I spent 4 great days in Mallorca with our 1978 yellow +8 Morgan back in the early 2000s along with about 30 sports cars from my local club. Hopefully we'll make it back one day in our 1984 yellow four seater +8!
Enjoy the car and hope you have the chance to do some longer journeys with it.
Cheers
