Martin,
I'm pleased to see Wykehams' blue Morgan is still ferrying happy visitors
around the UK. It was infectious indeed. What a thrill to drive a new Moggie
with a crisp, tight feeling all over.
When I returned home I was compelled to have my chassis stiffened with
strategic welds to reduce the excessive flexing because I was spoiled by the
luxury. I still miss the defroster.
Do you suppose the auto featured in Classic Car Magazines web site is the same
one we rented, or just similar?
Warm regards,
Joe DeLuca
