Yes. There are a number of Ford V6 engines in the chassis shop awaiting builds.

The Roadster is a completely different car, of course, but surely it's days must be numbered. In some countries the on-road cost of a new Roadster is already higher than that of a PlusSix.

You have to say the Roadster, cannot continue alongside the PlusSix.

The models are in a similar price band and are both are chasing a similar customer?


Honesty means doing it right, even when no one is looking!

2004 Roadster S1 3.0 V6 gone!

Just fourteen Mustang V6 engines left at MMC I heard. Krazy Horse have arranged to have six of the last Roadsters to be built with them.

is not the case the Roadster will be bought up by the Grandad and the Plus 6 will be for the Grandson

Why not a Roadster with a EcoBoost 4 cyl?. Looks like to Me that similar performance to the V6 Ford is available.

No reason why an Ecoboost engined Morgan could not be called a Roadster to distinguish it from the Plus 4. I would bet, however, as I speculated in another thread, that it is more likely to use a BMW turbo 4 and not a Ford engine and that it will be in the CX platform.

From looking at the Build Quality of a 2019 Roadster Kit Car as being sold in the U.S. it looks to Me that even I could assemble one of these Roadsters. Morgan has spent some time and money to make these Roadster a lot more precise than previous Classic Morgans. Just removing and replacing the scuttle is very easy because they used captured nuts. Same with the innerfender, wings etc. I was impressed. The top is a joy rather than a struggle. I would not be surprised to see roll up windows soon if they decide to keep making the Roadster.
