Loving the new Morgan

Bloody hell, that's smart.

But £25,000 !!

I can't wait for 'Clarkson and co' to get their hands on one of those, but I bet because its not a kit they'll think its fantastic and each buy one as their next car :lol:

And I cant wait for the Stig's lap time with 120BHP!!

What about one of these.




2cv but with a Guzzi engine. Could be my next project...... About 20k cheaper than the Morgan alternative.

And it was on Top Gear, but only on the "Cool Board", not a test drive

Yes, and they couldn't agree if it was cool :lol:

Of course it was cool. Captain Slow should have arbitrated with a chainsaw, and then put it on the cool side. :)

Off topic - I really didn't like the XJ when it came out, but I'm starting to warm to it... That engine note is just peachy. :D

How about that WWII colour scheme for Vicky?

I love that paint scheme, I am even tempted to copy it on my own trike.
:plane:

Given the engine, I think it would need Iron Crosses on the side rather RAF roundrels... How about bright red? I already have a flying helmet and a silk scarf. :lol:

Cheers

Very nice, but how do you get it through IVA with those exposed bolt heads and steering column?
