Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars My Morgan Sports Car Moving from A Roadster 3.7 to a Plus 6

The Brooklands model do. Not sure about the standard cars, I think it was an option

Thanks John,
I dont think it is.

As standard build no, it would have to have been spec'd with SSL front suspension upgrade - rear was not available as factory option back then

But over the years it could have been upgraded, if you post some photos on here we can confirm

The info I have indicated the Brooklands version of 3.7 Roadster had adjustable gas assisted dampers all round not the SSL RS kit (with spring adjustment) per se.

Here is the Brooklands spec

No thats not mine for sure.....BTW just fitted LED Headlight bulbs today obtained from CLASSIC CAR LED's I think they were about £57 delivered which seemed like very good value. They certainly look better in the garage. Another little upgrade was the wipers from Pete Gilbert..Excellent job thanks Pete. Now whats next?

If the car is post 1986 the led headlights are illegal, should be an mot fail and could void your insurance. Sadly you need a full headlight bowl. If it is pre 1986 you can. Use the bulbs

I used the leds and agree they are night and day. Below is a picture of RichardV6 and my Brooklands with full led bowls plus Ted the dog

Yep, there was an article on the BBC webpages recently where the basic takeway was that many owners are simply switching from Halogen bulbs to LED bulbs, and that will be an MOT fail.

I didn't worry re the MOT it is the insurance issue that made me change. It is a total joke of course but in 1986 there was a major change in the rules.

Don’t know how to start a new thread but…….was £30,500 + commission (6 or 10%?) a good price for the pretty coloured and decent speck 2011.
18K mile Roadster, sold yesterday at SWVA . I was tempted but still unsure about prices etc.
