Depends also on your driving style and the type of roads you regularly drive on.
I am happy enough to keep with the standard diff for the cost of changing it.
As I put more miles on the car, the engine is freeing up a bit and the high gearing does'nt seem all that bad.

Nope, In standard form it's the other way around. However, many are happy with the tall gearing. As said above it depends on the kind of driving you plan to do.

Thanks chaps, the morgan gives out the same power as my smart car and that suits me fine if a little under powered at times. I don,t drive fast and keep within the limits of the car and the roads,so whats the game plan with the morgan, well top down winter days driving, none motorway driving if i can help it, in fact days when the smart or the estate just will not fit the bill. maybe the morgan will be ok as is time will tell. michael

game plan with the morgan, well top down winter days driving Michael, I can see a trip to Aviation Leathercraft (Moto-Lita) coming up. You will need a flying jacket and a flying helmet for top down winter driving. Just watch out for the vicious speed hump on the way in to the factory. Better to drive the wrong way in on the exit side the way some of the staff do.

Terry........it all depends on how you want to drive your Morgan. I opted for the lower diff as part of my gradual update to "Competition" spec. Certainly it makes top gear more useful in day to day driving without ending up being a "screamer" at motorway speeds...and it certainly worked well going down the Mulsanne Straight on Saturday!

Jays, it maybe interesting to do a back to back ride of both cars, as they are both the same year and see what change all the mods have made and in which way. michael
