This might be evident on the MMC website, but the classic needed a lot of extra boxes ticking (steering wheel, dashboard etc) to make it acceptable.
Wondered if the Plus 6 is the same or like most cars these days, the standard model is good to go.

The "standard" wheels are 18" Speedster wheels, which I haven't seen on the car in any pictures yet, and the 19" Plus Six wheels are extra (£2195). I think the sports exhaust would be a good extra to have as well.

I would add heated seats, and something other than black leather. Wooden dash is extra too. Steering wheel options may be available from third parties at some point....

You can download the prices here:

Thanks Jon,

I like the standard size wheels with more rubber, low profile tyres do "nothing" for the look of a MORGAN (IMHO). The Morgan Sports exhaust is too expensive, I would use an exhaust specialist and develop my own (as I just have with my Roadster). It would end up "fruitier" though... thinking

Agree Heated Seats £645 are required, not bothered about a wooden dash and a change of steering wheel is 100% needed.

Metallic paint is a £1,200 option, so I would ignore that and go for a solid dark blue or ivory white (a nod to the Trad)...there you go my PlusSix all spec'd up! happy3

Mds61 Could you expand a little more on the exhaust specialist. Does it cause any issues, how loud, expensive?

Looking at the price list - never liked the speedster wheels - probably a reason why I have never seen a P6 pic with them.

Do the proper wheels really cost £2195 extra?

One to the bean counters.

The grey demonstrator which I went out with SBM in, has black Speedster wheels.

They wouldn't be my choice, too plain......but easy clean.

I'm very similar to you Mark, although I think metallic does enhance the curves & for me it needs Allon Whites to tweak the seat padding

Quoting the Morgan website "Newly designed wheels are introduced with the Plus Six"... it is not obvious immediately that these are an optional extra. I'd imagine by the time I get my Plus Four CX that I'll be able to spec a slightly cheaper alternative.

Assuming the Speedster wheels are exactly the same as on the Aero Chassis cars then Aeromax wheels will also fit.

I'd like Aero seats in it. I was unimpressed by the standard seat.
Or Tillet Seats.

David - all the early/launch cars were the 'launch edition' with the multispoke 19" as standard - hence the lack of photos.

The bespoke cars starting to get delivered now have the 'Speedster' alloys as standard - I may be in a minority, because I love these (in either grey or black - or maybe bodywork coloured for a dark non-metallic car). The 'old' Aero chassis also rode much better on smaller wheels and I wonder if 19" is too much for the CX.

Yep, me too. I have seen a few going through recently and they are a nice wheel IMHO. smile

19" is too big for any car. Small truck maybe! No wonder so many wheels get damaged hitting road irregularities these days.
Tyres like rubber bands should be track use only. Fashion over practicality. oldgit

I like my pimp wagon Mercedes ML63 with 35 profiles on 21" alloys.

I mean you can't just write drug dealer on the side of your car these days because tobacco advertising is banned and nothing says drug dealer like a huge SUV on 21" alloys ?

oops

I see the Dealer ex demo cars are now being offered without the hard top for £84/86k, so it might turn out to be a rare extra..
