Actually, it was Gote Bill.

You are not supposed to divulge sensitive "makers marks" to the great unwashed.
For shame!

Yes, I do know of Mr. Morgan's credos. When asked why the only adjustment for
the
length of the buyer was a 1" pedal extension that could be removed (Tiger has
holes in pedals) he was reported to say "If you don't fit a Morgan, don't buy
it!" Of course you could let a few psi out of the "whoopee cushion".

I once tried to check the shocks on a MOG by the tried and true method of
standing on the bumper, placing ones hands on the radiator, and bouncing up and
down to check the travel and return. I found that the only thing that "traveled
and returned" was the bumper bending. I understand your unfamiliarity with the
term "suspension system", just as we both know that there is no such thing as a
"sliding pillar".

Colin, Thank you for your good humor, I hope you will once again come to the
USA,
just across the border from Mexico (New). Maybe we'll see your new car at Big
Bear in June, Wot?
