Hi, This car has a Vanguard 2088 cc engine , ( Standard or Triumph ) and has no air filter. Only the clutch and brake parts have to be imported. Belts , oil and other parts can be sourced locally. Even brake cables can be made locally. Getting parts from overseas is not a problem , with credit card and courier services. This is a very rare Morgan , only 51 +4 Drop head coupes 4 seater were made between 1954-55. The Morgan family (Peter Morgan & sister ) used to own 2 and one American gentleman , leader of this SnobMog group ( snobbish Mog ) has a list of all the owners of the 51 Drop heads. I had to seek his advise to locate the chasis number of my car , as the car had to go for inspection by Puspacom, to change the registration card from a 'Blue card' to the new computerised card. JPJ does not have 'Morgan' in their database! It can be listed as MGA or Ford or whatever.
Getting parts for classic cars is no big issue now. Go ahead and buy a classic. A group of enthusiasts meet every 2nd and 4th Sunday morning at 8 am in front of Amcorp Mall for a short drive and Teh Tarik . I am restoring this car for my next generation, as I first restored it in 1990. Chang.
