I would have thought that Stanley would have preferred some Louis Vuitton wrapped in the LLB's mink stole hide

The only issue that we regularly encounter, is the packed weight of an otherwise light piece of luggage.
LLB struggles to pack light!

Just to close the loop on this, I am opting for a couple of Boot-bags (standard size). My best man also has a Morgan and is on this site. He swears by them.
Not advertising, but as I didnt come across them in standard searches, they can be found at www.boot-bag.com and these are bags specifically designed to go on open top cars and made in the UK!

Good choice. As I posted earlier you may find this technique of packing useful on long tours, happy motoring.
