I think I have come up with the definitive answer as investigated and confirmed at the excellent 2015 ‘Training Day’. It would appear that the F-type models were supplied with two patterns of tank, the early pattern and a late larger post war tank, which was of course fitted to most of the F- Supers as well as the post war F4. The nominal dimensions are given below: Overall Width ( in.) Capacity (ins.) (ins.) (Gallons) Early F-type 21 13½ 4½ - 5 Late F-type 25½. 13½. 5½ - 6. The overall dimension is the length of the top curved surface, from the back of the dash panel to the top of the board over the passenger’s legs. Photos of the two types are attached and as I suspected the dimensions of the early tank are very similar to those used for the three- speed family tank, except that an oil compartment is not included. You never stop learning, Spares Fair News Gary Caroline The Spares Fair will be held on Saturday morning in the Visitor’s Centre of the Morgan Company.

Ed 5 5-Speeder Footrest Maurice Cook These days I run two Morgans, a ten-year old Morgan Roadster (4 wheeler) and a 5 speeder that passed its first MOT test this year. Stainless steel footrests have been available for classic 4 wheeler Morgans for many years which not only give a much more comfortable seating posture for the front passenger but also often are lockable to provide a relatively secure stowage inside for loose articles.

The new car introductions will take place in 2020 and form a core range of models for the British manufacturer. It follows the success of the first car to use this platform, the Morgan Plus Six. Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2019, it has received an overwhelmingly positive reaction from both the press and customers, in large part thanks to its CX-Generation platform. Designed in house by Morgan, the CX-Generation platform is twice as rigid as the previous aluminium chassis used by the company, which underpinned the Aero 8 and second-generation Plus 8 models.

  • Mogsouth Newsletter 11 15
    SOUTHERN FOURS AND EIGHTS NEWSLETTER OF THE SOUTHERN MORGAN OWNERS GROUP MOGSOUTH VOL. 11/15 he MOGSouth Fall Meet, held October 30th thru November 1st, in historic, downtown Rome, Georgia, was well attended and showcased a beautiful covey of Morgans. The hallmark of the event was attention to detail by our T wonderful hosts, Judy and Gary Heck. Lodging was at the Hawthorn Suites Hotel, a beautifully renovated 1800’s vintage manufacturing warehouse located on the banks of the Oostanaula River. The hospitality room overlooked the river and featured an outdoor deck with solar lighted table tops. The Heck’s preparation went beyond inspecting the hotel, they spent a night there to ensure its suitability. Arrival at the hotel featured a greeting party and parking assistance; reserved parking for our cars at the front entrance was maintained thru the weekend. In recognition of the prospect for Halloween mischief, the Rome police provided a well -appreciated recognizable presence in our parking area. Registration was rewarded with a Goodie Bag that Judy obviously took great effort to assemble. After the traditional arrival Noggin and a short walk along the river to the dock, we took a relaxing dinner cruise and reconvened in the Hospitality Room. Saturday got off to an early start (precisely on schedule!) with a convoy along delightful winding back roads through farm country to Chattanooga. The Goodie Bag included amazingly complete directions for every leg of travel throughout the weekend; getting lost wasn’t possible. After a rest stop at the Chickamauga Battlefield Park Welcome Center, we arrived at the Coker Tire Museum.

    SOUTHERN FOURS AND EIGHTS NEWSLETTER OF THE SOUTHERN MORGAN GROUP MOGSOUTH VOL. 2/11 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance March 11 – 13, 2011 his winter I‘ve been driving the Plus 8 most weeks to work and on the weekends and the weather has been reasonably good. It‘s been cool for Florida but certainly great driving weather. Now, however it‘s really starting to get nice. Mid 70‘s during the day with cool mornings and evenings. A sweater, the leather driving gloves and T a MOGSouth ball cap. Perfect! Aside from all these short, sporadic Morgan forays however are the major Morgan events and adventures we plan for each year. This year we have a good number of events planned but the Amelia Island Concours d‘Elegance is once again the first major event in our 2011 Morgan driving season. I make a point to always take a Morgan to take to Amelia. I have taken my 4/4 once or twice, the Plus 8 a number of times, and I showed the 1938 DHC last year. Only once did I have to resort to a ‘tin top‘ but that was because my butt hurt. (A long story, best saved for another time.) The Amelia Island Concours d‘Elegance is a spring tradition for us and this year we went just to see the cars and enjoy the general ambiance. None of the pressure of showing a car or helping someone else show a car. We usually make it an extended weekend by taking Friday and Monday off from work.
