Some of the older Morgans don't have bumpers fitted, just the big chrome overriders. Are they a Morgan part or are they from a parts bin that were used on other vehicles?
My 1980 4/4 has nothing on the front and just the small chrome overriders on the rear. I have a couple of alloy bumpers but they are a bit worse for wear (they are 40 years old!) so was thinking of going for just overriders instead.

I'm not an expert on the older cars, but the over-riders may be Morris Minor.
The current cars use a design similar to the AH Sprite rears, but the brackets differ.

The smaller over-riders like in ths picture are Ford - they're from a 107E (as is the bumper). You can get them from Classic Ford vendors much cheaper than the Morgan places. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/03/21/8RFSgOe_56byW70jtlVwaWWDZO7TfX18x87_b7T8sXphgXXvn9yDlyWfeMWmDC87PrNvzyWG0E1gutoq_F13c3QTArj9ZFUdiwO4Nt_P0QLuJQEGQ0MagLnV-pq8JGoZ7RzQk-WWtjdUR8d6md_1_wE15pWFHgRA_plk5jbxb7uGQ6LHMP8YVjYeR6F1dpy9j0SiEpYd.md.jpg)

Overall shape is similar to Morris Minor but the actual part that bolts to the bumper isn't. Which means if you fit them to a Morgan, they don't fit right.
Got round this by buying a set of Morris Minor ones with poor chrome, modifying them and having them rechromed.

The big ones are eye wateringly expensive! Big Over Rider - £250 Compared to the small ones Small Over Rider - £50

250 !! is that a set of four!! ? Each! I'd be expecting a 'happy ending' at that price.
