The car was originally ordered through Morgan’s USA west coast dealer Cavalier Motors and was delivered painted ivory with a red interior. Later in life it was painted all green and still later the fenders were painted black. The plaid tartan was painted in February of 2009.

Organic High Speed Braking Juice is the secret of the car’s fantastic stopping power.

Super-Sport style bucket seats and Scottish sporran door pockets accent the cozy interior.

The engine features twin SU carbs and complementing tweed pattern spark plug wires. A quick release oil filer cap tops off the cast aluminum valve cover.

Painting the bonnet of my Morgan required more than 100 hours of hand work, beginning with stripping the panels to bare metal to laying- out and painting intricate plaid pattern.
