Cheers to all and happy motoring.

Well, now. A proper Morgan heater is surely much simpler. On my F2, I
just
touch a match to the wick of the whale oil reservoir, close the lid of
the
little brass box and tuck it into the foot well! Open the bonnet and
twist a
knob, now really is all that fooling around necessary? Next you'll be
telling us you wind up the windows to keep the heat in when a lap robe
works
just fine and can be used to sit on for your next roadside picnic.
Can
anyone suggest a good source of whale oil these days?
