Definitely illegal, can't understand why people risk the £100 fine.

Yes that combined with the safety aspect doh

It is a very special car and I would be happy to pay the asking price but I’m not a Yorkshireman, good luck with your decision making.

The MMC car finder site will give you some good comparisons around the dealerships.

Or the reduced safety in poor light conditions on a low dark car. But each to their own

Check out what's around the dealers and at MMC and you'll get a better idea of the price.

A very nice car, if I were to buy a 4/4 again, it would be...after 16 years of other colors...also BRG. As for the model, it's a nice feeling that what I have suddenly (or rather very gradually) becomes something special.
Looking at the photo from the back, I would not be surprised if you could even mount a spare wheel. Because the plate with the louvres looks like a retrofitted cover that is screwed. Maybe fake and screwed over the original sheet metal, because of the better looks, or actually a cover of the spare wheel well.

It doesn't have the necessary apertures in the rear vallance for a luggage rack/spare wheel holder and if you removed the rear panel you would have no high level brake light so I don't think so.
It's all for show but pretty.

First thing that needs changing are those appalling standard door mirrors............

The brake light of the Morgan 4/4 sports is placed higher, directly under the hood. The brake light of our object of desire is integrated part of the cover plate and placed much lower. That's why I think they used the electrical connections of the gooseneck brake light, and I bet you can mount a spare wheel.

The attachment for the luggage rack could have been removed.

Nice car, but why is that caramel-coloured tan leather so popular, especially in combination with BRG? I would vastly prefer mulberry, dark saddle brown of even black rather than this. But I'm sure it'll find an owner that appreciates it.
