As witnessed by a number of TMers, we’ve always used a ‘clamshell’ Samsonite suitcase. We then wrap it in a waterproof picnic blanket, then secure to the rear rack. Lots of trips in the UK and to Europe over 18 years with this setup and no water ingress. Case comes off at our destination and the blanket is then used for its original purpose.

LLB struggles to pack light! Bud 4/4 - Stanley

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! regards Rik

I too am a Boot Bag fan find it very practical and adaptable for large or small loads. I put squishy holdall type bags inside the Boot Bag I can then pack what is needed daily in one bag and what is needed on a more limited basis in another bag which means not having to rummage through one big bag every day. Have used the Boot Bag in every kind of weather with no problems kept everything dry. Good choice. As I posted earlier you may find this technique of packing useful on long tours, happy motoring.
