Known Issues to Watch For

Engine - various Ford units, all well-understood with good parts availability. Gearbox - Ford or Mazda, reliable. Body - ash frame with steel or aluminium panels. Check ash for rot especially around door frames, scuttle, and rear. Sliding pillar suspension - Morgan trademark, needs regular greasing, check for wear. Brakes - drums (early) or discs, adequate. Weather equipment basic - hoods leak, sidescreens rattle. Budget £2-4k annually.
