When that movie came out I wouldn't go see it nor would I let a
tape of it in the house as I had just spent 1740+ hours restoring
my car.
A while ago I was in DC and stopped by Cantab Motors. Met a
young fellow (late 20's maybe) named Bob Morgan. He realied
the following to me:
It WAS as real Morgan that was in need of a restoration.
It had to be specially braced for the film. After the
movie was made, his father bought that car, restored and
is now vintage racing it.
