NW-Mogazine Volume 39, Number 6 3 November – December 2019

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK …

If you haven’t made your New Year’s resolutions yet, resolve right now to attend at least one Morgan event this year. There is a rich selection of activities coming up this year. I have scattered promotional an-nouncements for nearly all of the events on the club’s calendar and two vintage-car events not on the calendar throughout this issue. Put one or more of these stellar activ-ities on your calendar right now – if the event is open for registration, sign up now. Procrastination is a terrible thing!

The two unofficial vintage-car events, viz. Lewis & Clark Classic Rally and Veterans Choice British Car Show, warrant special

mention. Both events are organized and promoted by Reid Trummel, who joined MOGNW last year. Speaking from person-al experience, I can wholeheartedly attest to how much fun the L&C rally can be. You can drive in the rally or simply enjoy the route as a tour, and the Rally Master Simon Levear is a master at planning exceptionally splendid routes. The Veterans Choice meet is new this year, and promises to be an out-standing opportunity to roll your Morgan out for a worthy cause.

You’ll find photos galore of the three wonderful holiday parties that members attended this year. Very warm memories!

I’ve introduced a new column with this issue – MOGNW Nuts & Bolts. This space is reserved for you readers. Every now and then, something interesting about what a member or group of members are up to (new car, an incident, unofficial gathering or trip, progress on a restoration) happens. If you experience such an occurrence, send me a couple of photos and a paragraph or two. I’ll put it in the Nuts & Bolts column for

your fellow members to enjoy. Your contri-butions are most welcome anytime! The inaugural article features a brief report by John Stanley on the restoration of his newly acquired 1956 Plus 4.

Shop Talk features an article on how to start a vintage car that hasn’t been on the road for many years – the kind of car that has been found sitting in an old barn. It’s well worth reading.

Finally, you can read two short reports on Morgan’s planned transition from steel to aluminum running frames. The venerable Morgan steel-framed cars are soon to be a thing of the past. Read about it.

As always,

drive with the greasy side down!

HEINZ STROMQUIST MOGNW PRESIDENT 2019-2020

31 December 2019

I trust you have all had a wonder-ful Christmas and enjoyed the holi-days with family and friends. Now comes the hard part, making that new year's resolution to shed those recently acquired pounds so you can squeeze behind the wheel in the spring!

Now that our Morgans are safely tucked away for the winter, it's a good time to be planning and thinking about the driving season ahead. Al-

though traditional events such as the winter retreat, field meets, wine tour, Punchbowl, etc. are already on the calendar (see our website at www.-mognw.org) there is plenty of room to insert an event you've been thinking about for years, particularly in the two best driving months of July and Au-gust. Grab a date, make a commit-ment and put it on the calendar! You will be glad you did - and so will your Morgan friends.

There's an upcoming event that I would like to draw your attention to, namely our annual meeting. Tradi-tionally scheduled for March, this year's event is planned for later in the year in order to include a driving event and thereby increase participa-tion. We have booked the event for June 5th and 6th at the Hotel RL in

Olympia. A board meeting will be held at 4:00 on Friday, June 5th, fol-lowed by a driving tour, annual meet-ing and dinner on Saturday, June 6th: Driving tour with lunch 9:00 to 4:00; cocktails (vespers) at 5:00, dinner and annual meeting at 6:00. Please mark your calendar and plan to at-tend this very special club event. Cost and reservation information will be sent to you via email at the end of January.

My best wishes to all of you for a healthy and Happy New Year.

Cheers, Heinz

NW-Mogazine Volume 39, Number 6 5 November – December 2019

Join us for a weekend with Morgan Owners Group Northwest friends at the historic Inn at Harbor Village in Ilwaco! February 21-23 2020. Make reservations for February 21 and 22. The Inn at Harbour Village is an historic chapel turned bed and breakfast that offers guests a unique experience: • An elegant parlor, perfect for relaxing with a cup of tea or glass of wine while enjoying a good book or your MOG Northwest friends. • Ten cozy and unique guest rooms, each with its own private bathroom. • A serene woodland setting. • An easy stroll to the Port of Ilwaco’s unique shops, galleries and world class restaurants.

Our weekend will begin Friday afternoon, February 21. Check in and enjoy the history of the 1923 Inn. Vespers with shared aperitifs will be at 4:30pm in the front parlor where we can also share contributed beverages followed by dinner at 6:00pm at the 42nd Street Café in Seaview. Their name is misleading! Our group has enjoyed fine dining there several times. Saturday will begin with an enhanced continental

breakfast and then the rest of the day is yours to enjoy at antique shops, museums, light houses, beachcombing or shopping in Ilwaco and Long Beach. Vespers again around 4:30pm in the front parlor followed by dinner at The Lost Roo in Long Beach. They offer casual dining with a large menu. The evening will conclude with digestifs in the main parlor. Sunday morning, we will enjoy another breakfast at the Inn and then depart for home. Owners and innkeepers, Kevin and Leanna Moos, will be taking your reservations on an individual, first come first served basis. They have only 10 rooms so call now to secure your accommodations! Although they have blocked all the rooms for us, one or two weeks prior to our event, unreserved rooms will be opened for booking. Their phone number is 360.642-0087 and be sure to mention you are with the Morgan car club. Here is a link to the Inn's website: http://innatharbourvillage.com/ Please let us know when you have secured your room so we have an accurate count for dinner reservations.

The Southern Pod EnjoysIts Annual Holiday Party

report and photos by Carla Dietz

The Southern Pod held its annual Holiday Party on December 8th at a new venue, the Colwood Golf Center. Colwood has been a premier golf course in Portland since 1930. Five years ago it redeveloped to include banquet facilities. What had once been the clubhouse became the perfect place for the Southern Pod’s festive Morgan gathering. A record number of Morganeers got into the holiday spirit with 51 members spending the evening in lively conversation and good cheer. Greetings and best wishes for the season and the coming year were extended by MOGNW President, Heinz Stromquist.

Reid Trummel made a special presentation to Doug and Lilo Barofsky of a beautiful, inscribed vase. (That’s pronounced VAHZ, as it exceeded by multiples the $5 price tag of a simple VASE!) The trophy was awarded for finishing second in the 2019 Lewis & Clark Classic Rally. Doug ranked second in the driver category while Lilo took second as navigator. Congratulations to both Barofskys for an excellent showing! Interested in competing in the 2020 event? See lewisandclarkclassicrally.org for all the details.

Once again, Cati Waterman did an outstanding job providing table decorations. Fra-grant cedar, miniature ornaments and tealights added color and a warm glow to the ta-bles. Cati also cleverly incorporated two wine glasses in each centerpiece, so everyone was vying to take one home.

To prove your officers can both work AND play, the fourth quarter board meeting was also held, taking care of club business and laying the groundwork for a number of next year’s activities.

With the 2020 driving season within sight, our wish for you is safety on the road, engines that purr, and, most of all, good fellowship with your Morgan friends.

Happy New Year!

Attention British car owners, please join us in a special event to honor military veterans on Wednesday, July 22, 2020, at the Oregon Veterans Home (OVH) in The Dalles, Oregon, where there will be a display of British cars and the resident veterans will vote for their favorite.

We're sending this far-in-advance notice now as a re-quest for British marque car clubs to include this event in their activities schedule for the year, and to encourage all British car owners to mark their calendars.

The purpose of the event is to honor and thank the vet-erans at this special facility. It is a chance to meet and thank the approximately 140 military veterans who re-side at this state-operated institution. The veterans will also vote for their one favorite British car on display there that day, with a special plaque presented to the car's owner.

There is no registration form and no fee to display your British car.

The OVH will barbecue hamburgers and hot dogs and also serve side dishes and soft drinks to all of those displaying a British car from noon to 2 p.m. Those displaying a British car are also invited to remain after the 2 p.m. presentation of the Veterans Choice Plaque and enjoy live music with the veterans inside the facility.

The British cars will be displayed next to the OVH on a high bluff with a spectacular view of the Columbia River Gorge, including The Dalles Dam. Volunteers will be on hand to greet and guide British car owners into position. Bring folding chairs and maybe a picnic blanket and enjoy the cars, the view and a tasty lunch, and meet the veterans.

Please plan to arrive between 11 a.m. and noon and plan to remain until the 2 p.m. presentation

of the Veterans Choice Plaque. Learn more about the

Oregon Veterans Home in The Dalles.Questions? Contact Reid Trummel:

[email protected] mid-week date of this event has been selected to avoid conflicts with the many other events scheduled in the summer. The drive to The Dalles is about 88 miles from the center of Portland, and we hope to greet you and your British car at this inaugural

Veterans Choice British Car Show to honor and thank US military veterans.

Restoration Under WayA relatively short time ago John Stanley bought Larry and Vicki Vandermay’s 1956 Plus 4. In August of last year, John began restoring the car. Early in December, John sent your Editor the following report on his progress to date:

… about a month ago I hired a mobile dustless blaster service to strip all the body parts for the car. In less than 5 hours all the body parts and wheel rims were com-pletely stripped to bare metal and treated with a rust in-

hibitor. Since my prior message I fired the painter I had hired as kind of got bad vibes from him and realized this job was way over his head.

I talked my friend the owner of Superior auto body in Gresham to have his shop to my paint and body work, and delivered the body parts and wheel rims there about 3 weeks ago. There was some real bad body work done in the past and all that is being re-done. The good news is everything is rust and rod free!!!! Of course the chassis is here and temporarily on jack stands since the wheel rims are gone. They are going to go ahead and paint them right away so I can remount the tires and wheels so at least I can move the car around in my shop.

After that I refinished the dash board and completely rewired it. The speedometer, tach and fuel gauge have been restored and calibrated, (of course the sending unit has been too) Also restored the wiper rack and its motor.

New factory upholstery in Honey Tan is on order from Morgan. I did a color change also, changing it from the blue I had picked out to Brewster Red like my F-super. Will have red wheels and black wings. Picture of the blast-ed parts attached as well as my F-super to show the color.

Although I was down there today looking over the work so far, I expect it will be done sometime February.

Editor’s Note: every now and then, something interesting about what a member or group of members are up to (new car, an incident, unofficial gathering or trip, progress on a restoration like the preceding, etc.) leaks out. If I learn of it, you’ll very likely see it under this banner in some future issue. Your contributions are most welcome anytime!

An ISIS Moment (compliments of Bob Hauge)

A number of years ago Bill Fink, legendary owner of ISIS Imports and his associate, Keith Baldwin, a former member of the Morgan Mo-tor Company racing team joined their skills to develop the infamous Corvette engined Plus 8 Morgans. Bill Fink is still doing these conver-sions for customers and when he recently broke a hip, he called upon his former as-sociate to help with the business. Keith now lives in Longview, WA, and has be-come acquainted with MOGNW member Bob Hauge. Consequently, Bob was given this recent photo of Keith, right, and Bill having just completed a clutch replacement on one of Bill’s customer’s cars.

With Keith’s permission, Bob is sharing this photo of two greasy gentlemen with their monster creation, a 500+ hp LS7 mon-ster, ready for delivery.

How to start a vintage car using only 4 wires by Rob Siegel September 02, 2019

I’ve written at length about the steps required to start a long-dormant car — lubricating the cylinder walls, changing the oil and filter, cleaning the fuel system, making sure there are no acorns or mice nests (or whole mice) in the air cleaner housing that might get sucked into the engine, etc. Here’s another helpful hint that may come in handy when you’re dealing with a long-dead car: How to bypass a car’s electrical system (or a portion of it) to start and run a car using only four wires. First question: Why would you want to do this? Perhaps the car has had an electrical fire. Or perhaps you’ve taken on a project car and the wiring is so booged up you’re concerned that if you toss in a battery and crank the key, you’ll ignite an electrical fire. In my case, I was given a free 1973 BMW faux-2002tii (a 2002 into which someone had transplanted a fuel-injected tii engine). It’s

basically a parts car, but I wanted to ascertain the health of the injected engine, and to do that I needed to start and run it. But when I looked at the wiring, I found that someone had begun moving the battery from the engine compartment to the trunk and had abandoned the job part way through, leaving wires hanging, insulation frayed, and the fuse box unsecured. Plus, the bat-tery tray had been removed, so there wasn’t even a place to put the battery, and the cables weren’t long enough to sit it on the fender. It was enough to make me want to play it safe and bypass the entire mess. First, let me be clear that this method applies only to vintage cars, by which I mean cars that are primitive enough that there are no electronic control units, sensors, or ancillary devices that need power. That being said, this should work on just about any non-smog-laden carbureted car with a mechanical fuel pump. It’ll also work on oddball mechanically fuel-injected cars like the BMW 2002tii, provided you power the electric fuel pump.

The big picture It’s often said that all a car needs to start is fuel and spark. Well, it’s a little more complicated than that. It needs the starter motor to spin the engine, the spinning of the engine to create a vacuum that draws mixed air and fuel into the cylinders, and the ignition to send correctly-timed spark to the plugs as the distributor spins around. For this discussion, let’s assume that the engine has compression, the valves are well adjusted, the fuel system is clean and functional, and a correctly-timed spark is present. I’m going to step through the wiring needs of the starter and coil separately, then pull it all together.

Spinning the starter Like any electrical device, the starter motor requires a positive and a negative connection to the battery. On nearly all cars, the starter has an integrated solenoid, which is just a relay that turns the starter on and off. The electrical connections are to the relay, not to the body of the starter. The positive connection is a thick, red wire that runs from the positive battery terminal to the big threaded post on the solenoid. There is no corresponding wire for the starter’s negative connection because the starter is grounded to the engine block, which in turn is connected to the negative battery terminal via a thick, black cable. But there is a third connection — a thin wire connected to a small terminal on the solenoid via either a spade or a ring connec-tor. When this terminal is fed 12 volts — as it should when you twist the ignition key to the “start” position — it engages the solenoid, which completes the positive connection to the starter and causes it to spin while also thrusting the pinion gear for-ward.

So, if there is already a good battery in place with good positive and negative cables whose connectors aren’t corroded, you can spin the starter by taking a wire, connecting it to the small ignition terminal on the solenoid, and momentarily touching the other end to the posi-tive battery terminal. It is imperative that, before you do this you first make sure the car is in neutral, because when you do this, you are bypassing the neutral safety switch and can cause the car to lurch forward if it is in gear. Because the wire is just powering the solenoid and not actually carrying current to spin the starter, it can be a thin wire, not a thick one like the battery cables. Instead of touching a wire to battery positive, you can buy a remote start switch that has a small alligator clamp at both ends. That makes it easier, as you can connect both ends and then squeeze the switch. I prefer to cut off one of the alligators and crimp on a spade con-nector instead, as it makes the connection to the solenoid more secure and less likely to short against the body of the starter. So, now that you know how the connections to the starter work, if the battery cables are a mess — or, as was the case with my 2002tii parts car, the wiring is so messed up that you wish to bypass all of it — you can simply connect the battery to the starter with jumper ca-bles as follows:

The connections on a Bosch starter so-lenoid. The thick threaded post with the nut on it in the 6 o’clock position is from the positive battery cable. The smaller (and here, badly frayed) wire with the spade connector at the 8 o’clock position is from the ignition switch.

NW-Mogazine Volume 39, Number 6 20 November – December 2019

• Disconnect the positive cable from the battery. Since all connections to the alternator and fuse box have to go through the positive battery ca-ble, when you disconnect it, you’re disconnecting the car’s entire elec-trical system. Wrap the end in a rubber glove so it can’t accidentally short out on anything.

• Clamp one end of red jumper cable to the thick, threaded post on the solenoid, being very careful that it contacts only the threaded post. Clamp the other end to the positive post on the battery.

• Now connect a wire to the ignition terminal on the solenoid, as shown two photos above. Verify that the car is in neutral, then touch the other end of the wire to battery positive. (Or, if you’re using a remote start switch, connect it between the solenoid and battery positive, and hit the switch.) The starter should spin.

Firing the coil Now that we’ve covered the starter, the next step is firing the coil. Every standard ignition coil has two connections. They’re labeled either “+” and “-” or “15” and “1.” The “+/15” terminal, commonly called the “hot side” of the coil, receives 12V from the battery. The other terminal (“-/1”) is connected via a wire to the condenser on the side of the distributor and receives the triggering signal from the points opening and closing. It also usually runs the tach- ometer. So, to bypass the car’s wiring and fire the coil, assuming that the ignition is intact (coil, points, condenser, cap and rotor, plugs and wires all good, and points opening as the distributor spins) and that the distributor timed so that the rotor is pointing at cylinder #1 when #1 is at top dead center, all you need to do is take a wire with an alligator clip at one end and a spade connector at the other, disconnect any wires to the “+/15” side

of the coil, connect the spade connector there instead, and connect the alligator clip to the positive battery terminal. If the ignition is equipped with a ballast resistor, technically you should wire 12V to the input of the resistor, then wire the output of the resistor to the “+/15” side of the coil, but it’s not really going to matter unless you’re running the engine for a long time. If you want to be extra certain you’re not using any of the car’s existing wiring, take a fifth wire with spade connectors at both ends, and connect it from the coil’s “-/1” terminal to the condenser terminal on the distributor. This eliminates the possibility that something in the path to the tachometer has fried and is grounding out the ignition.

The challenge So that’s it. To start and run a vintage car, you need only four wires—three for the starter and one for the coil. To recap:

1. Thick, red wire from battery positive to threaded post on the starter motor. It can be a jumper cable, but if you need to move the car, a secured battery cable is much better.

My remote start switch with the crimped-on spade connector.

Insulating the disconnected end of the positive bat-tery cable with a rubber glove to prevent shorting.

NW-Mogazine Volume 39, Number 6 21 November – December 2019

1. Thick, black wire from battery negative to the engine block. Same caveat about securing the cable. 2. Thin wire from coil “+/15” to battery positive. If you’re concerned about the integrity of the connection to the distributor,

run an additional separate wire from coil “-/1” to the condenser. 3. Thin wire (or remote start switch) from solenoid, momentarily touched to battery positive.

Note that I did not say there needs to be a wire from the battery to the chassis of the car. That’s because the starter grounds through the engine block, as do both the high-voltage side of the ignition (the spark plugs) and the low-voltage side (the con-denser). If, however, you want to begin connecting other devices, it’s certainly easier if the chassis is grounded, since that way you can use the existing grounding wire on the devices and run only a single positive wire. In my case, because I was starting a fuel-injected car, I also had to power the electric fuel pump. And, because the injection has a cold-start valve that I needed to fire temporarily, I had to momentarily touch its wire to the positive terminal too. Thus, there were two extra wires that needed to be run to the positive battery terminal.

The two-wire variant for pop-starting If the car has a manual transmission and is located on a hill, or if you can push it at a good pace, then you don’t even need the starter motor to spin the engine. All you need is two wires:

1. Thick, black ground wire from battery negative to the engine block. 2. Thin wire from coil “+/15” to battery positive.

Provided the fuel and ignition systems are functional, this is all you need to get the car rolling: put it into second gear and let out the clutch, which spins the engine just like the starter motor would, and fire the coil. That having been said, I can’t really imagine why you’d do this unless the wiring and the starter motor were fried. Even so, I’d want the car in my driveway, as starting a long-dead car is always an iterative process. But it’s cool to know that you could.

The big caveat It’s important to note that I’m not advising that you wire a car this way and drive it! First, as I said, having wires tem-porarily secured with alligator clips is flimsy and potentially dangerous. Second, this technique bypasses the alternator, so there’s nothing keeping the battery charged, and the battery will eventually run down. Third, it bypasses important indicators

Cable with alligator clip connected to the hot (“+/15”) side of the coil. Alligator clip then goes to battery positive.

Short wire connecting triggering side of coil to distributor.

like the oil pressure sensor and light and the temperature and gas gauges. Lastly, it bypasses the fuse box, so if any of your jury-rigged positive wires touch to ground, things are going to burn. But if you simply need to spin and start a long-dead engine in a car with messed-up wiring or get a car that just fried its wiring harness a few miles down the road to a safe location, this technique can be helpful. And let’s face it — the real joy here is knowing that you understand the car’s electrical system well enough to be able to do it.

Editor’s Note: as most of you readers must know, the batteries in vintage Morgans are positively grounded – the exceptions being cars that have been owner-converted to negative ground. Consequently, an even bigger caveat for those of you out there who are faced with starting an old Morgan and intend to use this article as a guide, you must reverse the polarities re-ferred to in the article, i.e. when the author writes positive, you must read this as negative and vice versa.

On the positive battery terminal, you have the big jumper cable clamp going to the starter, then smaller alligator clips going to the coil and the remote start switch to the solenoid. Plus, in my case, the electric fuel pump. A wire to the cold start valve was touched momentarily.

NW-Mogazine Volume 39, Number 6 24 November – December 2019

The Morgan Motor Company is to continue its technology drive with the launch of new models based on its recently in-troduced CX-Generation aluminium platform. The new car introductions will take place in 2020 and form a core range of models for the British manufacturer. It follows the success of the first car to use this platform, the Morgan Plus Six. Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2019, it has received an overwhelmingly positive reac-tion from both the press and customers, in large part thanks to its CX-Generation platform. Designed in house by Morgan, the CX-Generation platform is twice as rigid as the previous aluminium chassis used by the company, which underpinned the Aero 8 and second-genera-tion Plus 8 models. Thanks to a focus on reducing weight, it tips the scales at just 97kg, contributing to the Plus Six’s mere 1,075kg dry weight. Although full details of the new CX-Generation aluminium plat-form models are yet to be shared, the company can confirm that the range will feature a variant with a manual gearbox, as well as an engine with a smaller capacity than the 3.0-litre tur-bocharged inline six-cylinder unit used in the Plus Six. The launch of new CX-platform-based cars in 2020 will mark the end of production for Morgan’s legendary traditional steel

chassis. Introduced in 1936 in Morgan’s first four-wheeled ve-hicle, the 4-4, the steel chassis has played a hugely important role in the company’s history, underpinning its models for 83 years. A variation of the chassis continues to be found today, in the Morgan 4/4, Plus 4 and V6 Roadster. Morgan has not confirmed an official end date for production of the traditional steel chassis models but recognises a period where it will be produced alongside CX-Generation models before its discontinuation in 2020. More information on the model range, launch dates and cele-bration plans for the end of the traditional steel chassis will be made in 2020. Morgan wishes to inform any customers inter-ested in purchasing the latest Morgan models, or the last of the traditional steel frame chassis vehicles, to contact their nearest Morgan Dealer.

Steve Morris, CEO, Morgan Motor Company, said:

“The CX-Generation aluminium platform represents a significant undertaking for a small company like Mor-gan. Following the success of the platform and the Plus Six earlier this year, I am delighted that we can finally reveal further plans for new models in 2020.

We recognise a need for a more resolved core product that fits in with our customer’s growing needs, as well as future legislative requirements. The advanced en-gineering encompassed within the new platform is a vital underpinning for the next generation of Morgan sports cars, and further demonstrates the exciting blend of craftsmanship and technology that makes Morgan cars unique.

’n addition to new models planned for 2020, the year will also bring about opportunity for us to mark the significance of the outgoing traditional steel chassis and its contribution to the marque. Used in Morgan’s core models since 1936, the traditional steel chassis has been an integral part of the Morgan story and we look forward to giving it a fitting send off.”

Morgan to phase out steel chassis used since 1936 Current and new models move to

CX-generation bonded aluminum chassis

Jonathon Ramsey Dec 13th 2019 at 2:28PM

HFS Morgan, the eponymous owner of the British motor company, began his commercial journey in 1908 by making a three-wheeler powered by V-twin motorcycle engines. He built his first four-wheeled vehicle in 1936 on a steel chassis, calling it the 4-4 because it had a four-cylinder engine and four wheels. That basic chassis setup is still in use today, but not for much longer. The automaker announced that beginning in 2020 it will phase out the steel platform that supports the current 4/4, Plus 4, and V6 Roadster. Taking its place will be the new-generation CX platform fashioned from bonded aluminum, which debuted on the Plus Six roadster at the Geneva Motor Show this year. The CX architecture is Morgan's second foray into bonded aluminum, the tiny car company having used a bonded and riveted aluminum chassis for the Aero 8 and Plus 8 at the beginning of the millennium. The reasons for returning to the lightweight metal are the same now as they were in 2001, Morgan CEO Steve Morris saying, "We recognize a need for a more resolved core product that fits in with our customer’s growing needs, as well as future legislative requirements." A brand new chassis developed in-house and weighing just 214 pounds also represents an enormous investment for an au-tomaker that built 850 cars in 2018, so expect to see the Morgan range expand with new models and new engines. Morgan has already said that future products will offer engines smaller than the BMW 3.0-liter inline-six in the Plus Six, and manual

transmissions. It's thought that Morris' hint will mean the arrival of BMW's 2.0-liter four-cylinder under Morgan's long nose, and a six-speed manual gearbox. One doesn't lets an 83-year-old mem-ber of the family retire without occa-sion, so we should expect at least one celebratory model set on the old steel framework in 2020. Next year will "bring about opportunity for us to mark the significance of the outgoing tradi-tional steel chassis and its contribution to the marque," Morris said, and they "look forward to giving it a fitting send off."

1965 Plus Four Morgan for Sale

Bob Sanov passed away a few months ago. The estate trustee has asked for our assistance in selling Bob's pride and joy - his 1965 Morgan Plus 4.The real estate agent handling the home sale is in possession of a "large" folder of apparently every receipt Bob accumulated over his multi-decade (?) ownership.After three of us worked on the car for several days and going over it carefully, we rate this car as a "#3 - Good" on the Hagerty Insurance 1-4 rating system. The Morgan appears to be dam-age-free with no dents or dings observed. The interior has leather seating and tunnel cover and in good used condition. A new front grill and aluminum radiator have been recently installed, along with new spark plug wires, distributor cap, and positive-ground Petronix ignitor system. The bumpers look new. There is minor corrosion on bits and pieces of the trim work and the underside of the bonnet panels. Several small paint blisters are visible on both front fenders and one rear fender. The five tires are over 10 years old. The installed battery is unusable.All this car needs is new tires, battery, a tank of fresh gas, and someone to drive it frequently and with great enthusiasm!If interested in acquiring this iconic British classic, contact estate trustee David Sanov 323 383-5447 or email [email protected].

New Business • Discuss and Approve Budget – Proposed budget as provided by Larry Vandermay is based on 75 members. Please see

published report for numbers. Discussions of specific line items are as follows: • INCOME

Advertising – it is agreed that $400 is a reasonable number. Davy intends to approach not only our current advertisers to continue their support but also some of the advertisers on the Triumph website as well.

Annual Meeting has a current income budget of $500. If we have an attendance of 30 bodies the income at the ap-proved $25pp would total $750. Budget will be amended to $750

Regalia – budget of $175. Davy will write up instructions for ordering/purchasing on line directly from our supplier. Motion made by Davy Crockett and seconded by Fred Bowman to place a 10% mark up on regalia to be remitted by supplier to MOGNW on a quarterly basis. Approved Unanimously. (NOTE: David Crandall asked if it would be possi-ble to get the raven design added to the available options and Davy said he will get artwork to supplier)

• EXPENSES Pod Allocations: These will remain as designated in the by-laws. The Island/Northern Pod(s) receive no allocation as

the membership numbers do not meet the minimum threshold. Suggestion was made to merge Island and Northern Pods into Canadian Pod. No action officially taken.

Awards: Leave at $350. See notes under ‘other business’ for discussion of award specifics. Annual Meeting: Budget to remain same as last year at $1500 Mogazine: Jack Tinnea has been absorbing the cost of printing and mailing the few physical copies requested but line

item will remain. Website: $175 has been paid for hosting and security to cover 3 years. Foreign exchange factor: remains at $10 and is actually more of a cushion that absorbs PayPal fees when someone

identifies MOGNW as a business instead of a ‘friend’ when making a payment Current fiscal year will run approximately a $2000 deficit. Jack Tinnea suggests that we consider an increase in dues

for fiscal year 2021. Motion to approve budget with above noted adjustments made by Jack Tinnea, seconded by Fred Bowman and approved unanimously.

• ANNUAL MEETING – The Q2 2020 BoD meeting has been set for June, 5, 2020 at 4pm, RL Olympia, Olympia WA. The Annual membership meeting will follow on June 6, 2020 at the same facility at 7pm; drinks and dinner will begin at 6pm. Discounted room rate of $109+tax has been arranged with RL Olympia. Estimated attendance is 30 persons. Last year, the club subsidy for the annual meeting was $1500. Proposed budget

for the subsidy is the same for 2020 with dinner at an actual cost of $35pp. Club members will pay $25pp with re-mainder being absorbed by MOGNW. Motion to approve proposed expenditures made by Bob Hauge, seconded by Jack Tinnea and approved unanimously.

Saturday June 6 will start with a tour somewhere in the near vicinity. Proposed start time is 9am. Jack and Doug will work on the exact route an more information will be published as available. Jack Tinnea will assist with creating a reg-istration form, Bob Hauge will get it posted on the club website and Doug Barofsky will include it in the club newsletter. It is hoped that by combining our Board of Directors meeting and Annual Membership meeting with a club driving activ-ity that more of our membership will choose to participate in the weekend.

Other Business for the Good of the Order •Awards: Claire Hauge has catalogued all existing awards. The 5 for which nominations are needed to continue are: Rough

Rider, Press On Regardless, Craig Runion Momorial, Eternal Turn Signal and King Pin. It has been decided to repurpose the King Pin and potentially associate it with a specific (as yet undecided) event. Fred is working on the physical award. NOTE: nominations will be needed at next BoD meeting (2/22/20).

NW-Mogazine Volume 39, Number 6 32 November – December 2019

Other Business for the Good of the Order (continued) •Officer Elections: Jack Tinnea has expressed a desire to step down from his position as Membership Chair. It is suggest-

ed that the Membership Chair be combined with another chair – either Treasurer or Mogazine Editor – and until the next election, that Doug Barofsky absorb the duties of Membership Chair and, when the Treasurer is next elected, that the du-ties of Membership be rolled into that office.

Open Forum oConcern was expressed by Larry Vandermay about the lack of cohesion between the Midland and Southern Pods. Sug-gested that each make sure the other is invited and encouraged to attend not only each other’s local events but also, when possible, monthly meetings.
