Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) to morgan or not to morgan

One of my other cars is a Defender, supposed to be more comfortable than à stage 1 LR, and my Morgan is far more comfy.

Doing 400 milles a day with a mog never gave me a backache, if I would do it in my def', I'm not sure it would be the same story.

(I will let you know as we're supposed to visit family next winter in Pyrénées, and we plan to use the def' as it's more snow compliant thant the roadster)

I've run long distances in a variety of LRs. The most comfortable (and easiest to control in the event of a tyre blowout) was my 127", a 1990 model just before the Defender name was introduced (and the 127 became the Defender 130). The long wheelbase made for a very comfortable ride over rougher roads.
My 90 on the other hand does pitch quite a lot, which can become tiring after a while.
The early 4 door Range Rover I owned for 13 years was the best for long distances!
I once did 250 miles in a SIII 109 station wagon (an ex-diesel a previous owner had converted to V8) - by the time I got home I could hardly turn my head my neck muscles had seized up...
With the '76 Mog, so long as I get out for a stroll every 200 miles then there is no problem doing long distances

Cheers,

Just like this one?

Jeez, that patina is an expensive commodity.........

Hey terry 1956 you should try riding around on a rigid frame Harley Davidson chop. Then when you get in the Morgan it will feel like your riding in a limo. It always does it for me!
