Get yourself down to the nearest biker dealer for a spray can of Wurth chain lube. Lift out tool tray and jack up rear of car. Remove spare wheel. Good access to the leaf springs and bushes should now be available. Make with the squirt on the springs and bushes while the weight is off. Put it all back, clean yourself up and go for a drive!

so I did the obvious thing and cleaned everything to do with the door.
I used a "cockpit cleaning wipe" over the rubber door seal, the horizontal parts of the door and door frame and cleaned the body work that comes into contact with the door.
squeaks and creaks gone...
until next time...

They return with miles as everything warms and dries. I don't think we've ever arrived anywhere without a few creaks.
I fit plastic film on the B panels where the side screens rub. If you always travel without sidescreens it doesn't matter.

It sounds here in the description of the terrible noise as with my 4/4. In my case it was such a loud squeak that I thought metal rubbing against each other somewhere.
The solution came by chance. It can be a lot but this squeaking is abnormally loud and unique. It was only the passenger side:
with us it is the contact surface of the lateral vertical rubber of the windshield In interaction with the outer front aluminum frame of the side window.
Vaseline or silicone spray and I have one to two years rest.
I noticed that this noise didn't occur with older Morgan if they didn't have this new but helpful small rubber edge yet, you know, this edge that is supposed to protect the front side window from fluttering while driving.

I also have creaking that seems to emanate from the seat mountings and wondered if anyone has a similar experience? if so, could an ordinary bloke tighten something up and where would that something be - seat bolts etc.? I imagine they are under the seat so what is the drill?

Drill! No, don’t do that!
I thought the same, but traced it to be the doors. I put a little grease on the slide on the catch mechanism, and put ppf on the upper doors where the sidescreens squeaked against the doors, and then drove a bit faster.
Then I changed the rear shocks and the seats stopped creaking!
