6th March 1968 apparently - so that makes her 50 today !!
So happy birthday to my own personal triggers broom. At least 2 cars, 3 colours, 3 engines, and countless other scrap or brand new parts. But taken as one at a distance of 10ft she is looking pretty good for her age. Never have I had a machine that I have put so much effort, cash, sweat and swearing into... bet there are a few of you can say the same.
True, I couldnt take a picture of her today as she has one wheel off and is jacked up in the air as I wrestle with the starter motor but hey - I know plenty of 50yr old humans who would be delighted to have someone take care of them so dutifully.

I think you should treat it to a Hemi for it's midlife crisis

Where did you get the date info from Morgan? Have you got the original build sheet? Or was it info passed on from previous owners?
Our Sport Satellite reaches that milestone later this year or early next, but we don't know exactly when as the build sheet's long gone

I dont have the build sheet - I think it was from the fender-tag decode. I used to have the info for it on 'the garage' section on here but I cant find it now - assume the section went in the revamp ?
Fender tag should tell you. See here -

The date code (306) is on your fender tag, which I included in your letter when we got it off the T plate. Believe it or not, I wrote that letter in 2006!!!!!
