I wonder what they have coated it with -or is it weekly polishing forever?

Park in London and some knob would ‘key it ‘ for sure. Would attract even more attention than a normal Morgan . Museum piece not a ride IMHO.

PS may peace or a ceasefire continue ……..

I imagine that it might be PPF covered....? As for MM`s comment, never heard of a Morgan being keyed, and hope never to hear of such an unfortunate occurrence..!

While now in a negative frame of mind, I follow a young lady motorcyclist who posts YouTube vids under the name of Itchy Boots and who travels the world on her own, despite the mix of poverty and riches in countries she has visited her motorcycle has only been stolen and fortunately recovered once, and in Africa, She is currently riding around in the UK, and unfortunately her m/cycle has been stolen again, this time in Swansea.... Sigh..!

Stealing motor cycles in the UK seems to have evolved into a national sport.

Sadly Luddite, London is an angry place. Back in the 80s some d***head walked right over my Plus 8 outside my house. Have the footprints on the bonnet in photographs ! Built a garage after that …….

In the early 2000s, I had a lady working for me, who needed to go to Moscow on business. At the time, we took advice, including from the people she was visiting, and were told that she should have an armed person with her at all times. Thinking back, they may have suggested more than one and we may have provided more than one. Whatever the case, she was there for a few weeks with no issues or reasons for concern.

Once back in the UK, she had to go Cardiff to visit a key client.

...you can see where this is going...

The first day she was there, I received a call in the early evening, from the hospital, stating that she had been walking down the street, when someone struck her on the head with something solid; down she went, purse was taken, as were her valuables. Thankfully, other than a nasty lump on her head and a few scratches from the fall, she was fine. After awhile, we had a laugh about the prep we took to send her to Russia and yet she got mugged in the UK.

It can happen anywhere but often when you least expect.

Mike, as for your story - I had the same issue with a Mazda MX5 in the 1990s - some idiot decided to run along a row of parked cars, at the MX5 roof, his weight meant he crashed through it and blew the glass out in the process.

Not a new idea:



However, I like the silky matt polish of the Vauxhall far better than the extreme high gloss of the Morgan.
