Thank you. With these cars they leave the factory with quirks, so I just count the issues as normal.

Nathan, congratulations for your restoration. We have a SS built four cars after yours (the Earls Court Motor Show car). I would be very interested in knowing more about your exhaust system. Do the two flex pipes from the headers connect directly to the muffler (meaning that the muffler has two inlets from the header and one outlet for the exhaust pipe)? Pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. If you take a look at my other video, I took photographs throughout the entire process. At the 10:07 mark there are a few photographs of the exhaust and header. The header has four going into one before coming through the chassis and the flex pipe is a single. The muffler is single in single out. After the flex pipe is a single pipe going to the muffler. Hope that makes sense. If you have any more questions let me know.

@@not_the_stig, thanks for your reply. I must admit that I am guilty of being overly obsessive about SS exhaust systems (the original owner of our car fitted his own version with dual exhaust pipes exiting in front of the rear tire-something like the Baby Doll race cars)! Looking at pictures of Super Sports when they were new, it appears that there were at least two different systems fitted by the Morgan works. The high-body cars and at least the first low-body had a muffler located nearer the engine. At some point in low-body production, the muffler was moved farther to the rear. The exhaust system then became (in order): headers, two flex pipes, a fabricated two-into-one reducer, the muffler, and the tailpipe. Being a purist, it's the early system that I would like to know more about. There is a very low mile SS in Italy with the original system, but I have been unable to get any photos. This all belongs in the "who cares" department, but historical research is all part of the fun!

When I look at this one,the modern ones looks less "real",something is different,even if it is perfectly the same builder,the same blue print,I don't know but for me this one resonate something in me that the new ones did not.Am I crazy or do you feel the same? I am 66 ,I was 7 y.o. at the time this beauty was in production,maybe there is a little Mandela effect at play,who knows?

Yes, it's a TR4. The Plus 4 used SU carbs, but the super sports used Weber 35s. The intake sound is superb.

It's chassis 5204. Correct, we replaced the steering wheel with a Brooklands. If you're interested, watch the other video. I photographed the project from start to finish.

They have the electric 3 wheeler, guessing at some point that will be an electric plus 4 too. Certainly changes the character of the car.

I have pictures from the restoration company. I still need to unboxed the car and take pictures of everything that is packaged up in the car. The gauge cluster has been completely rebuilt. I believe he said the switches are made from ivory. Car has brand new frame, brakes, Engine has been rebuilt blocked and blew-printed. I have all the wood that is cut and ready to be assembled for the body and fenders.

@@ericbuchta9765 sorry, just saw your message. If you want to sell it you have a few options. Bringatrailer.com is an interesting option to sell it. Morgan Motors of New England may be able to assist selling it or finding a buyer. The other option is Morgan West, who may also be able to find a buyer.
