Ride? Ride is what lesser cars have back behind the Morgan whose handling
has taken it far into the distance!
I think that the shock absorber changes over the years make a huge
difference, also the tyres. Many people cannot believe that my 1954 +4 on
cross ply tyres has a recommended inflation pressure of 20psi. Adding extra
air makes a big difference in ride quality (even 4psi).
Re differences: I once put my car into a concours (not a very serious one)
under pressure from the organisers to have some different cars. On looking
at my car one of the judges was heard to remark " Good Lord he's even used
gutter bolts to hold the thing together!". To which the other, more
knowledgeable, judge said, "Don't mark him down - Morgan made gutter bolts
into an art form"
Just different!
