Random notes on the restauration of Morgans, MGBs and Minis
After a good rest in Lyon our first stop after to hotel was a gas station. During our stop in Nancy the only fuel available at the AVIA station was E10. Not ideal - but it will also not kill the Morgan immediately. Especially not as I had about 15 Liter of SP98 left in... Continue Reading →

As I don't have the right tool for this I drove over to Stephan's workshop and borrowed the large hydraulic cramping tools from him. Next, I... Continue Reading →
