I have a 1960 plus 4 high body 4 seater and have decided in the rebuild to convert it to a 2 seater.I made the wooden frame last time I rebuilt it 40 years ago from the original wood patterns.But now need patterns to make the back end for the conversion.I have a few good pictures of the back end and side views of other 1960s 2 seater plus 4s but it would be good to see one in the flesh,or if someone out there has wood or paper patterns that wood be brilliant, I live in west Worcestershire,and go to Sidmouth in devon a lot,regards duncan

Try Berrybrook, they have a wooden frame they take around on their show/open days, not far from Sidmouth. I haven't a clue whether it is a narrow body one or not. This may be helpful.

Harpers used to sell wooden frame parts but I think they closed down, certainly the website doesn't work.
I think the Haynes museum has a couple of Mogs but I can't see that on their website.

thanks for the replies I will go down to VSM they are not far from me.The high body plus 4 was only made till 1966 when the plus 4 2 seater had the modern low body so the dimensions of the frame are different to that of the modern morgans.If I can find one ,I can take measurements in the right places and can then make the new frame ,so if you know any one that has got one,please let me know thanks duncan

Give Richard Williams a call on 07969 906 027. He has nothing to do with Williams the Morgan dealers but is in fact a coach builder who is a ex Morgan. He lives a couple of miles from the factory. He will help you.
