A bit of good news for Morgan this morning regarding the 2030 petrol ban unless Starmer does another turn. A new petrol tin top in 2030 will probably see me out unless he taxes us all to death to make the electric switch.

the issue will be to find petrol engines for longer than the big OEMs will need them in their own models

They are available in the colonies, I think some of the last blocks may have come from South Africa, though in the UK for a new crossflow I would be looking at Duratecs , the 4/4 with that set up seemed to be a sweet spot .

Arwyn Ouch!! ... goes to show the last time I looked ! 😮 ... maybe if I spot a cheap one (and a type 9 box) I should grab it for future insurance ... have plenty of shed space. K

When i brought my MOG in 2001 and was a member of the Devon Crash Box Club, one of the old boys suggested that i should go to a scrap yard and buy a spare Crossflow. Unfortunately as i was getting a divorce at the time, I didn't have a place to store one. Biggest mistake since owning my MOG!
