In fact, I've been advised not to park facing downhill if rain is likely, and to cover the engine with a bin liner when washing the car to keep water off the engine, so there are a couple of bonuses for you! Paul, you need a John Taylor Storm Cover as it covers the louvres.  Storm Covers You may recognise the Aero 8 on the site!

And with the excellent John Taylor Storm Cover there is only very little left you have to wash (grin).

Thanks - Plan to get a full hood for £68 http://www.morganhoods.co.uk/products/carcovers.htm But have been advised to wait until the paint cures first - about three months (+ injury time). Hope you get the equivalent of PRS!

There is a solution on the Shropmog web page: Shropmog Press the 'Technical' button and look for '4/4 Zetec Cam Plate' Roderich Many thanks Roderich; I must admit, visions of a flat ally plate as 'underwear' had been occuring, but that 'fix' does look a 'proper job'.

Sorry Aeroman; muso speak - Performing Rights Society.
They collect dosh re radio airtime, retail outlets that play music etc. and then dibby it back out to the artiste/copyright owner...
Wondered if there is any equivalent for pictures, but probably not - that would be a pretty good wheeze for all of us...that is a picture of my car, and I claim my £10....

Hi
I now have a 2004 sales brochure and can verify that the runabout is described as having exactly the same mechanical spec as the 4/4 at the time, with the Zetec powerplant. Also weight, ratios, and dimensions are identical. Of course the more recent 4/4s have the Duratec, which accounts for the difference in power and economy.
The cosmetic differences are minor, and the previous owner has already upgraded most things to above basic 4/4 spec.
I have arranged my insurance through the Morgan scheme - a very pleasant surprise - and will collect the car next week ... I am rather hoping for a dry drive home with the roof down.
