Hi Peter, I had my mesh grill powder coated in satin black which looks really good against the chrome grill.

Finally used the time to wash and polish the car. A first in my Morgan ownership. Actually quite enjoyed it.

With all the long distances, fast road and motorway driving in the sun and fresh air woohoo I had to do something about the tonneau flap. Bodged this with a piece of teak I've had hanging around for the last 10 years, and Dots original pvc tonneau. I surprised myself and found it fit for purpose ! sherlock

Quality bodging, if there can be such a thing.
Has the guy in the second photo just been hit by a flying Jerry can?

Thats the somewhat incongruous rear view mount,for the mirror that randomly flies off and needs adjusting by guesswork. My neighbor Colin is not deserving of such punishment- he already has a MicroCar with a sewing machine engine! Actually the battery went flat some time last month, but it was OK as I had some spare AA batteries to give it a jump start.

That is a really good idea.
I only fitted a mesh grill at the same time as a Mulfab radiator. I prefer the car without a mesh grill, but needed to protect Peter’s marvellous creation.

The Plus 8 has 4, yes 4 radiators.

Coolant
A/C
Oil Cooler
Power Steering fluid coolant.

To protect that lot a mesh grid is essential!

LOL!!
It is a Miele, so robust.
It isn't the first time I've used it for a heavy duty clean!
