This issue’s cover artwork has an interesting story. It was done by Rick Swain, one of our Canadian members from nova Scotia. each year at the British Motoring festival there rick is asked to do a drawing of the car he would most like to own – to be given away as a prize (the drawing not the car). here is his description of his choice:
The car is owned by David Nielsen of Keswick Ridge New Brunswick. David bought the car new from Metro Motors in Windsor, Ontario in 1968. He had ordered the car sight-unseen and the dealer sent an Air Canada ticket to fly him from Fredericton to Windsor. They met David at the airport and drove him to the dealership. He had already registered the Morgan and had the New Brunswick license plates with him. After discussing recommended break-in technique and such, he headed out for the 1063 mile drive home. He’s had the car ever since.
I would venture to guess he may be the only ‘original owner’ of one of the coveted plus 4 Super Sports. a wonderful story and a great drawing anyway. Thanks Rick.

Excellent David! Congratulations to you and the Morgan. Fifty years together next year, going to treat her to a new set of gold pistons? :-)

Great to see the Morgan get the recognition she so richly deserves

Great article David. The car looks really good in the picture and in real life. A well deserved recognition.
Dave and Pat
Congratulations David,
We shall hope for many more years of happy motoring for you and your Morgan. I have only had our Morgan for 5 years now and could not think of parting with her.
