Title: Ever Seen One of These?
Post by: FJ1100mjk on November 10, 2016, 03:16:49 PM
Snapped a pic of this, on my way to the salt mines today. I have no idea if it's a kit, or a vehicle that was sold at one time.

Not a kit. And they still make them.

It's a quirky British car.

"quirky British" is redundant in my book, bless them.

Sure, a Morgan. My dad booted around Scotland in one of those 3 wheelers in the 30's. Said it was a hoot.
The Plus 8 is a pretty sweet looking ride.
As far as I know, they are still using ash for parts of the frame for the body panels (not to be confused with the rolling chassis)
