A friend, Peter Winfield, used an old Morgan as a project for his apprentices to re-build. As a treat, he arranged for them to take it to the factory when it was finished. On the day,
Peter was standing, looking at the car with one of the Morgan engineers and mentioned that, whatever he or the apprentices did, they couldn't make the gap between bonnet and wings the same on both sides. One side was inevitably wider than the other. The e...
