    One of the US non-mainstream car rags just ran a blurb on an
 English outfit who will rent you a Morgan Plus 8 to drive around in.
 From what I can recall it was rather pricey and naturally they require
 a substantial damage deposit.  Of course the article's at home, but
 I'll see if I can find it.
