My bad,
Yep obviously I meant the hardware will catch up indeed :cool:

What are the cars shown in the update? I think one might be a Morgan, but I can't find it on Google.

I think it's an MG (TC?) and an Austin Seven, but wait to be proved wrong!

Sports car is an MG TA, (wipers mounted high whereas TB had them mounted low). The TC was not made until 1945, after war's end. Saloon almost certainly an Austin 7. I believe I'm correct in saying that all pre-war Morgans were 3 wheelers, (single wheel at the rear). but I'd need to check that.

Edit: Checked and stand corrected. Morgan's first four-wheeler was the 4–4, for four-cylinder engine and four wheels. The first production 4-wheeled Morgan was released to the public in 1936 and is known as the Morgan 4–4 Series 1. Three-wheeler production continued alongside the 4–4 until 1952. You learn something everyday if you have an open mind.

Do I get 75%?

Thanks for the detail. A pipe-smoker should have this info at his fingertips. As an ex-pipe smoker, the info has left mine.

In checking out the facts on the Morgan I came across this and just couldn't resist it. If you see one of these in CofD you'll know its a fake.

But I want one just like it.

I think 75% quite reasonable.

Let me start by saying that I am the chief mechanic for a small antique auto museum in the US. I've worked on a fair few MG T series cars.

Yup, it's nit picking time...

:grin:

The fenders (wings in Brit speak) on the TA are far too wide, as are the wheels and tyres. The TA through TC series MGs had very narrow 19" diameter wheels and tyres. Also that colour is more than a bit too bright for a 1930s/40s era MG. The Austin Seven is spot on however. (Worked on one of those as well, not many on our side of the pond though).

Now what I'd like to see is a Triumph Gloria Southern Cross, as I'm a Triumph man myself (TR3).

:cool:

I always thought a "fender" was a mudguard. Never heard it called a "wing" - in UK or SA, but maybe I just don't get out enough ;)

By fender which i don't hear in the UK very often if at all i would guess you mean the bumper.
We have bonnet,wings,doors,boot,tailgate,bumper,headlights , tail lights,indicators,brake lights.
How we can make something so simple so complicated :)
