I don’t know whether any of you watch it but the BBC programme ‘Antique Road Trip’ this week has the dealers driving around in what was described in todays episode by the narrator as a ‘Replica Morgan Roadster’!
Which it clearly isn’t even if such a thing existed
Script editors eh!
At the beginning of the week when the Morgan first appeared it was probably correctly described as a ‘2017 Morgan Roadster’ .
Anyway whatever model it is it does look a very nice Morgan
For those of you that have never seen it or are outside of the UK it’s a brilliant programme which has antique dealers and sometimes very minor celebrities compete by buying antique tat from antique shops and selling it back to antique dealers at a loss at auction!
The protagonists drive to the various shops in a classic vehicle which in the programme consists of several shots of them driving on a sunny day down what looks like the same deserted narrow leafy country lane in the middle of nowhere.
Makes for entertaining TV

The narrator often gets the vehicle model and year of registration wrong, but it’s easy watching.

However inaccurate the script is its worth watching if only for the wide variety of classic cars. They have even had them in a Series Land Rover on one episode although I imagine that was a less popular ride, not least because they were unaware of the need to double-de-clutch!

Yeah, I'll often watch on catch up as it is a great antidote to much of the doom and gloom of dramas and endless 'celebrity' dross....
They've had several Morgans over the years - a lovely little red 4/4 once which visited an shop quite near me (Castle Ashby).

It is indeed worth watching for the wide variety of classic cars and of course for the different antique shops.
We love the show!
