Models with the wings separated from bonnet and standalone headlamps give a true vintage look.

Now we're back to 'Morgan Specials' (as opposed to just 'Special Morgans' 😁) A subtle one ..... a one-off Speedster fitted with a conventional windscreen (and presumably weather gear?) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/08/19/A59751BE-A566-4248-B9C7-E1185AF892EE.jpg) K

Not sure if this counts as "special", but was at a Jaguar XJS Club gathering at Chateau Impney last weekend and amongst the XJS's, classic RR's and Alvis', was this 1953 Morgan, apparently originally a flat rad, but modified at the factory with the curved cowl at some point in its life. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/08/20/IMG_2638.jpg)

Yep ... that's sufficient to make it a special in my book .... most people's thoughts would be to do the conversion the other way! 🙂
Tho, having lived in a 17th Century house where previous occupants had plasterboarded over an 8 ft wide stone ingle-nook fireplace with a huge ship's beam for a lintel .... then put a '50s little tile fireplace in front .... I never underestimate the pull of being 'modern' ... however odd it seems in retrospect.
Still a lovely car ... and with an unusual story ... another 'subtle' one you'd need to know your stuff to spot as it drove by

I quite like the matt red/black car. It has got me thinking. I am looking to have the wings on my standard red car resprayed. Matching red is the obvious first option BUT...
Would matt black wings with red gloss be ok? Match up the headlight surrounds ( over riders too?). I have seen a car with red body/ black wings in gloss.
