Like all Morgan it was built for British weather. It ran hot in the heat of the Southern summers. To make it run at correct temps. I replaced the radiator from copper to high efficiency aluminum, installed larger, faster electrical fans which activate from water temp. An American made for the plus 8 ram air system which scoops additional air from the front below the radiator & directs forced air over the radiator & through the engine compartment. This system is efficiently enough to run in traffic or cruising down the freeway. It also has the effect of cooling the engine compartment & transmission tunnel, a common problem with Morgans causing a lot of heat inside the car. I am the third or fourth owner & the car has just over 14000 miles. Other than the dash cracks in the varnish the car is perfect. It runs well & is as reliable as Lord Lucas allows. The Oil pressure gauge went bad & I replaced it with the closest I could find in USA. Colors are the same but rim is a little beefier. The correct OEM part can be ordered out of the UK but they are very proud of them. I intended to change all the gauges out but never got round to it. It seems that the Morgan dashboards are often replaced especially in rebuild processes. They are flat walnut. Dials added & replaced. I have seen Russian mig jet clocks put in the dash. Kool stuff. By the way, true to British form, the clock in the cluster is absolutely accurate. I have added fresh air induction from outside the engine compartment into the air filter box for more efficient engine performance & replace the rubber tubing feeding air to the fuel injection from the air filter with chrome pipeing. I don't know that it does any better but it looks much slicker. Wheels are OEM chrome wires with knock on spinners & original lead hammer on board. Brakes have been relined lately, not that they were worn out, just old. Tires are good, they didn't wear out, they perished with age. I wanted a Morgan since I was a kid growing up in UK. Now I have had one & enjoyed it. I have had it I think since 06 & put 2500 miles on it. It has never been in the rain or wrecked. I replace the CPU about two years ago. It was so humid that summer damp got into the unit & shorted it. Fuel injection & electronics on the car are built by Bosch. Land rover parts can be used to replace many Morgan parts. Car has always been kept inside a garage Any questions please message me through EBay. I will be happy to answer.
