Hi,Im looking for a second hand Morgan 4 1600 / 1988 luggage!

Maybe you're referring to 'Old Maynard', he's a turn of the century leather trunk made from water buffalo hide by the Colonial India Luggage Company around 100 years ago. 'Old Maynard' almost certainly had many adventures travelling the world many times over during his long hard working life, and seems perfectly content to help Monty & I out during in his retirement.





Once you free yourself from the idea that whatever you put on the rack must be removed for every overnight stop, and replace it with the concept of a semi-permanent trunk that acts as a lockable boot, you'll be amazed how practical your Morgan will become on a long touring holiday.

For me the period correct look is extremely important, a Trad is very much in the vintage aesthetic and I would wager most of us have made the choice to drive such an eclectic car because we enjoy this unique identity our Morgans provide? For me therefor, if one then straps a ghastly modern suitcase on the back, it completely spoils so much of what the car is all about.



'Old Maynard' is completely in keeping with Monty's vintage look, and he hides my modern bags inside in a perfectly dry environment, even in very inclement weather. However, typically I tour with two bags behind the seats on the parcel shelf that hold all our cloths, with 'Old Maynard' taking care of our bulky camping gear, once pitched up 'Old Maynard' is free to take all our shopping when we head out for supplies at the local supermarket.



'Old Maynard' is a proven solution that works, but one that also looks the part, he's also enjoyed many compliments along the way as he enjoys his retirement romping across the European Continent on the back of Monty

No contention from me!

This is the 2008 Goodwood Revival with my son and nephew. The home-made ginger beer was a bit "lively" when we opened it (and strangely slightly alcoholic):
