1960 Morgan Drophead Roadster (not Jaguar, Triumph, Mg, Austin, Daimler, Allard) on 2040-cars
Spring Lake, New Jersey, United States
Morgan Plus 4 , drophead. Very nice, privately owned, low mileage, 44000 mile car. Always garaged. Canvas top that has not been put into service for years. Car was restored about 2000, with fresh paint and a new top. Runs excellent . Shows very nicely. Paint has good gloss to it. A few minor chips that can touched up, if striving for absolute perfection, and a chip in the bumper chrome- if I am to criticize this gorgeous car. I am assisting a good friend in selling his car, as he is now 89 years of age and realizes it is time to let go of it. Vredestein Dutch tires, replaced 2 years ago, with about 100 miles on them at most. He only drives the car to the local Jersey Shore Classic British Car Show. http://pedc.org/events/brits-on-the-beach/ The owner purchased the car in 1991 with 27,350 miles on the odometer and has logged 17,000 miles in 23 years. The car has always been kept in a dry garage. It is painted the original dark red, almost a burgundy, and has the original black leather interior. The rims have been powder coated. The Morgan is ready to drive and be enjoyed for many years to come. The engine is the original TR3 Triumph engine, 1991 cc, with 2 upgrades performed- a spin on oil filter adapter and pertronix electronic ignition. A spare distributor comes with the car. The car is fitted with front disc brakes from new. The side curtains are in great shape, very rarely used! https://morganhistoryinfo.sharepoint.com/Pages/DropheadCoupeSpecial.as http://www.supercars.net/cars/1183.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_%2B4 |

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]
Fri, 18 Dec 2009Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
First GM ignition switch trial dismissed
Fri, Jan 22 2016Robert Scheuer has agreed to dismiss his ignition switch claims against General Motors to bring a sudden stop to the first federal trial over the automaker's faulty parts. The lawsuit was the first of six cases that were a bellwether to set a precedent in the complaints. Scheuer didn't receive any financial settlement from GM, according to Reuters. Scheuer alleged that he was injured when his 2003 Saturn Ion went off the road and hit the tree. The airbag didn't deploy, which Scheuer claimed was the result of the faulty ignition switch. GM originally attempted to dismiss the trial over a lack of evidence, but US District Judge Jesse Furman set a January 11 start date for the case. During the trial, GM's attorneys accused Scheuer and his wife of lying and presented evidence of an allegedly altered check stub that they used to purchase a house. Scheuer's defense had claimed that the family was evicted from the home after memory loss from the accident caused Robert to lose the down payment check. After the allegations, Furman pushed for a settlement. He called the trial an "outlier" and "almost worthless as a bellwether case," according to Bloomberg. The next of the six trials begins in March, Reuters reports. Related Video:
GM calling in 56k Saturn Aura sedans over shift cables
Thu, 08 May 2014General Motors may have made a few mistakes when it came to the whole ignition-switch debacle, and it will likely be dealing with the consequences for some time to come. But you have to hand it to Mary Barra and her team, because they're determined to clean house and avoid the same mistakes. That's why the biggest of the Big Three automakers in Detroit has been issuing recalls left, right and Renaissance Center. Aside from those vehicles fitted with the faulty ignition switches, GM has recalled over 50,000 Cadillac SRXs, another 50 heavy-duty pickups and some 51,000 full-size crossovers. There are bound to be more to come, and now it's issued another 50k-unit recall over faulty shift cables in the transmission.
The recall affects 2007 and 2008 Saturn Auras fitted with the four-speed automatic transmission manufactured between April 24, 2006, and October 31, 2007. The recall doesn't affect models equipped with the six-speed automatic, or for that matter any of the Aura's Epsilon platform-mates like the Chevy Malibu, Pontiac G6, Opel Signum and Vectra, Saab 9-3 or - carrying over from Fiat's aborted partnership with GM - the Fiat Croma, although many of those models used the same 4T40 transmission employed in the Aura.
In the affected vehicles, the shift cable might fracture while in motion, preventing the transmission from shifting into Park or the ignition from switching off, which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration figures could lead to the car rolling away. Hence the recall of 56,214 units in the United States, owners of which can expect to hear from their dealership in due course to have the necessary components replaced.
