This is an article from the Daily Mail Saturday 2 June , it includes a small photo of a chap ( may be Charles ) in a red +8.


CHARLES MORGAN, chairman of Morgan Motors , claims open topped cars are good for pulling the girls .
He once took a Morgan Plus 8 ( pictured ) to the Alps and drove it - brrr!- to the ski lifts in Verbier every day . Singer Diana Ross offered to buy the car on the spot for double its value .
Mr Morgan, not quite one of life's monks, was at Heathrow another time and got chatting to a young woman . She saw his car and at once had him whisk her to Browns Hotel , Mayfair . She was actress Andie MacDowell.
As Mr Morgan relates to Finch's Quarterly, open roadster can also attract less fragrant attention . He was waiting at traffic lights in Los Angeles with two young children in the back when a tramp came staggering up.
Uh oh! The hobo slurred : 'Thasha Morgan ishn't it ? I've always liked those.' Mr Morgan was touched . The tramp dined well that night . thumbs


In Dec 1988 a young girl in a 400 Merc chased me 20+ mile for a ride in the Mog .

By the way the newspaper title is, How to drive the ladies wild .

"CHARLES MORGAN, chairman of Morgan Motors , claims open topped cars are good for pulling the girls."

Yes,I agree, the open top saves you dragging them in through the door.

If you believe that, I can sell you a Morgan delivery date.

Sad. The Daily Mail had a feature on Ms. MacDowell and her young daughters a couple of days before. It is a certainty that this will be brought to their attention.

Does this fall under the every man is allowed to have fun rule?

Having driven around the coast mostly with the roof down, I would say that it has as much to do with the Driver as the Morgan. There were 'No Takers' when looking like this hide

Judging by the problems some on here seem to have with nipples..... We need all the help we can get!!!

Either that or there is some very strange grease gun technique going on.
