A wet day out
My friend the celebrated motor racing photographer Jefff Bloxham asks: "Between two races, Spa and Nurburgring, I stayed in Geneva with a good friend Jad Sherif and on the way there over one of the high Swiss passes in the snow we overtook this topless Morgan ( I think 1983/4), anybody out there know who these intrepid pair are?"
Well, someone here may know...

According to the DVLA website it was put on a SORN in 2010. It has an MSCC badge, it might be worth sending the picture to the club for the magazine's "Where Are They Now?" feature?

I have now contacted the MSCC and Cranmog and I shall report back if anything turns up. I notice that Cranmog holds monthly meetings (or did until recently!) in The Chequers in Ampthill. I often had lunch there when testing cars at Millbrook in the 1980s.

Are you sure that is actually the correct photograph.
Doesn't look like a high Swiss pass in the snow to me.
But still a great picture and worth researching.

That is the caption that Jeff wrote to that photo on Facebook. I think it's slushy snow.

Great picture. Can't wait to get the MOG back on the road after rebuilding it and this virus thing!
