On the contrary, I think old HFS would have seized on the opportunity to advance the handling of the car at little added expense. OTOH, MGTD's had a steel scuttle support hoop from the early fifties,

Firstly, finding one, I am UK resident, so getting bits for my car is easy. Melvyn Rutter has scuttle roll bars listed but the applications are not stated explicitly- as he has a presence here on the

Well, why not weigh in. I've noticed a tremendous difference between by 66 4/4 and 63 DHC +4. Apart from the possibility that a 74 4/4 differs, my vote is for chassis differences between the two. +4s

I'll add my two cents to this discussion. Newer Morgans do ride a lot better than older ones. Why do I think so? The under cowl roll bar. No chassis twisting or cowl shake. My 1991 4/4 came with one

Viva la difference! My first observations of significant difference are a bit dated -- we got our 1970 4/4 4-seater in 1972 after having owned a +4 SS for two years. My very first impressions were in

Both the new 1800cc 4/4 and the current +8 seem to ride much better than their 25 year old predecessors. The obvious changes are the scuttle roll bar, the tubular rear dampers and the rear bar for th

So does this imply that we who have older Morgans can improve the car's ride by changing to tubular shocks in the rear with a cross brace and possibly rigging a scuttle brace? Or does a better ride b

Let me put my 2 cents (or 2 shillings) into this discussion. One thing that the newer cars have are soft seats! My 63+4 has wooden boxes with a cushion on them that passes for seats. I would guess th

Ride? Ride is what lesser cars have back behind the Morgan whose handling has taken it far into the distance! I think that the shock absorber changes over the years make a huge difference, also the t

snip When my car was rebuilt I added the scuttle roll bar and the tubular rear dampers to a new chassis and I feel it does ride better- instead of the chassis twisting the springs are made to work a

What?? A scuttle roll bar in a 1961 +4? That would be spoiling the character of the car! Good old HFS would turn in his grave if he heard about it... Hermen Pol
