Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Urgent advice: to 4/4 or not to 4/4?

Lovely spec Tony, though we are sorry to loose you to the 4-wheeled brigade!

Great news you must be very excited!

Only how many minutes now??

Thanks! It really feels great to have put the foot down and signed the contract...hopefully I will soon know what you all are talking about - the feeling of driving and owning a Morgan


Interesting, is it mainly the engine/gearbox or the chassie that needs time? I understand that the first service "tightens up the bits a bit" and that you afterwards can enjoy the pedal a bit more enthusiasticly.


Ivory/tan feels like a good choice for me. I saw it live in the showroom and I just couldn't stop looking at it. Thought a little about Teal - a fantastic background for white racing roundells...maybe next Morgan (but Almond Green is also lovely). Are Ivory and Sports White the same nyance? The option list is evil...it seems to sort of grow by itself...I started with a empty 4/4 and ended up with a well armed Plus 4 without really understanding what happened. I complimented the seller by telling that he must be a really good salesman, he replied that "I have only been answering your questions...".
Maybe I should order the extras before the lottery draw - have a good feeling about this...
Yes, let's compare impressions, already looking forward to that tread!


Thanks, the next challenge is to find the proper suitcase! Found some really battered old Alu-Rimowas at the German Ebay Minutes are pretty slow at the moment...maybe I should start counting seconds instead?


Thanks! "Throttle bodies" is a new word I will browse tonight


Thanks! My dealer have ordered Roadster no 002 and might have it soon...am I the only one that hopes that the Roadster will be delayed at least until after mid April?


Yes, the Three Wheeler at my dealer sort of talks to me like a luring siren seductress when I come close to it...maybe I need one of them to...Three Wheeler that is (already have siren )


Excited - very muchos!!! My Morgan virginity has been a heavy burden to shoulder - now only 4579216 seconds until solved....4579215 and counting

M3W,
Re freeing out -- The engine / gearbox for sure, but I also noticed about the same time that the ride seemed less harsh(mind you I changed the rear shocks for Rutherfor AVO's) and it just seemed that it wanted to be driven harder!! -- that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!!!!!!

Enjoy!

Mark (at the factory)assured us that Sports Ivory and Sports White are identical. We had colour samples of actual paint that had been used on cars in our hands at the time. We certainly could not see any difference between those that were marked in Sports Ivory and those that were marked Sports White. Perhaps it is a name change that took place when Morgan changed paint suppliers.

I think that Sports White and Sports Ivory is identical. Royal Ivory seems to be a bit darker than Sports ivory. I like both colors so far but personally I would tend to go with Sports ivory. Those nuances may be dependent where someone lives. I saw a Royal Ivory Morgan in bright sun light near Pisa last year in May, it looked fantastic. Here in Germany (less intensive sun light) Sports Ivory looks a bit fresher in my view.

Great, thanks for that confirmation, then I will sleep even better tonight (this weekends 72 hour Morgan internet surfing still takes its toll).

This Mog-disease is very contagious Tony, imagine you can have your Plus 4 in Sports White and your 3W in Sports Ivory!

Will copy your excuse and seriously consider those AVO's, just need to test drive first. Still never driven a Morgan...my last "German-354hp-450Nm-thing" was pretty enjoyable....but it is great to be back in driving with style again

Great idea! From what i have understood it has been done very successfully before - using the same nyance in both three & four wheeled Morgans...lovely ! By the way...does the disease start with a itching right foot
