I rather liked the concept Eva, as it was not just a re-worked trad body Wasn't that supposed to be a six cylinder? It was rather a long time ago and all I can remember is the shape...

Not a giant leap of logic to suspect some carry over of Eva to emerge in a future flagship coupe.

Plus Six Aeromax limited edition anybody??? it seem unlikely I would have loved that, or a real coupé-version, breadvan kind of bodywork but most of all: LOWER SEATING POSITION, I felt like sitting ON it in stead of IN the Plus6

I was told that the seat level is set by mandated signs lines.
Sounds bonkers to me.
How about a version of Brian's SP1 on the Plus6 chassis?

Last Saturday the plus six was revealed in NL, and I had the pleasure of being there. I sat in it briefly. It struck me that with my 1.90m I could sit in it very well, but when looking to my side, I noticed that I peeked over the top of the side screen in stead of under, as in my Roadster. Meaning that with the roof on I could not see approaching traffic from the side unless bending forward. I think the plus six seats do not recline as far as in my current Morgan. This means I could not compensate for the height as I can in the Roadster. So the new car seems at first better for tall people, but this high position may make it unsafe. I hope it was my clumsiness with the seat’s reclining mechanism, but if not, this is a serious issue for tall morganeers
Cheers,

I remember reading somewhere Bert that MMC had an issue with seat height on the new Plus Six
The vehicle approval bods (whatever the department is that approves new vehicles) insisted on a higher cockpit seat height than on previous Mogs

Being short of leg (as well as slim of hip) I found the seat height in the Plus Six to be fine.😎
