Car magazine – August 1987 – one page entitled ‘Working with cars’ about Graham Hall, foreman of the body shop at MMC (interview/article by Chris Harvey).

It's the number on the book, together with "ISBN 1-900732-05-X", but this does not lead to finding the book with Google or Amazon (looks like the publisher got it wrong, or failed to register the correct number). Googling > "world sports car journal" volume 1 < brings up one copy...

It is carrying a single spare wheel in the rear panel (with a gap for the other wheel), and has a disc wheel on the front (rather t...

I was surprised to see two Easiclean wheels (four stud) at Beaulieu (one marked up 'as for Morgan?'), but both had 4.5" PCD when measured. The six stud Easicleans frequently on eBay are for Morris 8 S2 cars, if not others. I had a discussion with a S1 owner about the reality of swapping the out...

Hi there, Have found a reference in the ~1960s ‘Answers supplied by MMC’ page of the early yellow workshop manual that makes reference to a ‘conversion set’ to use Hoffmann LS11 (Skefco RLS9) bearings in the alloy front hubs of cars before ~#0596, which allows use of the ‘fully tapered’ stub axle to...

Hi All,
Just bought this photo off eBay, do not have 'The Lawrence Tune Years' (too modern for me) to see if this car was photographed much during it's career in this form.

Hi there, Another recent eBay photo purchase, unknown LawrenceTune car, not able to decipher the name on the bonnet. Have yet to purchase a copy of 'Morgan Sports Cars : The LawrenceTune Years 1961-1964' which might have helped the identification. http://www.morganseriesone.com/unknownLTcar/Untitled...

On behalf of the restoration of #900, does anyone have access to a pre-war DHC to let me know what the fasteners which secure the hood rail on pre-war DHCs look like. It is extremely unlikely that any are available, but photographs or measurements which will enable some to be made would be very help...

Wish you well with the project, Drophead Coupes are beautiful cars.
Have been helping a friend rebuilding a late 1939 car research the original specification of the pre-war DHCs.
