DVLA claims the Morgan was registered on 12th Dec 2011, interesting to see no spare wheel on the back or is it behind that vented panel these days?

A spare wheel is optional on the Morgan Supersports (the pictured model). As standard you only get a can of goo.

Naawww, what a lovely couple! :)

Oiled up their trunnions, and generally set about convincing her owner that she could be used and there was nothing wrong with her :)

Spotted today whilst driving to and around Norwich:

A bugundy Vauxhall Viva saloon - very tidy indeed. A couple of 2CV's, one was an old G reg (matt black). The other was a multi-coloured example. Also spotted on the back of a trailer was a small Riley saloon of some kind (1.5 perhaps).

Sorry no piccies though.

:eyes4u: Nice! Is that Valencia or Emerald? Who cares though, it's a lovely looking old motor in either case.

You must be right, the DVLA say it's blue. I didn't think to look on their database before. :thumbsup:

On a service road close to West Hampstead Station - I travel past on the Met line every day, there is a gradually increasing collection of classics!

There's now a pale yellow (Mimosa?) Toledo, a Spitfire, an MGB and possibly an A35
