These procedures have been edited to represent the experiences of the most discriminating British motor vehicle owners. :gaah:

Now are these actually the ones being marketed by Ace?

They appear to be.

 

[IWN2RYD]

I prefer this version...

Now that looks good! One in Candy Apple Red to go please hyea:

 

[Bob Denman]

Each to their own notion, but I like the look of the Ace's headlights better... What kind of mechanicals are being used in that one?

 

[retread]

They're licensed by Morgan, to be built by Ace, or Morgan will use Ace's design layout. There's a write-up in Kneeslider. The trans is from a Miata! Looks like fun!

:agree: That big, you might as well be on four wheels.

 

[Raptor]

They are interesting that's for sure. But I think if I was going to go that route I would get the T-Rex. But I think these will have a certain appeal for many. Anyway, they are pretty cool. But I like 14!

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree: The side by side seating is really intriguing, and the retro-look is inviting; but I'll stick with my RT also... :thumbup:

 

[NancysToy]

I'd do it in a heartbeat (if I couldn't find an original). Oh, if money were no object!

Got to drive one of the originals when was a teener, been hooked ever since.

Reminds me of cranking an ME 109

 

[Oldmanzues]

If I remember right, from a long time ago. The Morgan had a J.A.P. (J. A. Prestwich) V - twin engine in front and steering was 90 degrees from center to lock for each side. Interesting to drive.

Not candy but it's red! And look, there's my bike except mine's black. hyea:

you have lemans?? what year, buddy has a 01 with pipes, polished everything after crashing it he redid most of it.

 

[SpyderWolf]

Side by side seating means I would probably have to start a diet very soon, and be able to stick to it. :gaah:
