Nice! That's very good to know!

If it's a single sided swingarm with bolt on wheels, you have two options. Have an adapter made so you can fit a standard size wheel all round just like we do with BMW's. You might have to change the gearing and shock in the worst case.

I can only assume it will be a single-bolt job like the front wheels, but then again, my assumptions on that vehicle has been pretty much wrong all the way up till now.
One thing, I doubt it will be possible to fit a much larger wheel without eliminating the boot/trunk and have to redo the wheel case, and with my thinking (by now), one would probably have to extend the swingarm.

Plan B is to hope the bolt PCD is standard and buy a spacesaver spare. You won't be doing much over 40 mph with one corner at the wrong height by an inch or so, but you can at least pick your spot to fit it.

That sounds more like something up my alley, but maybe, just maybe (noone would know this yet, except the guys at Morgan), one could fit an extra rear tyre in the boot/trunk, and then have one of those emergency spares for the front. Or perhaps fit a regular tire flat under the bonnet/hood, if it has a space under there like the ACE cycle-car.
Sheesh, it would be so much easier if I could see it in real life or at least see some real life pictures of it.
Perhaps I'm overthinking it - I have that tendency.
It might solve itself when it comes to space, since I won't be using the passenger footwell for a passenger, so maybe that's the solution.
