Goodwood Road & Racing review Plus 6

Very fair review

Having just driven the new plus six over the last two days I would say firstly you need to keep it in paddleshift mode and it desperately needs a sports exhaust and side pipes to be characterful enough for £80k . I drove soon after this a 3.7 roadster with sports exhaust and side pipes and manual gearbox and would much prefer the 3.7 . The suspension on the 3.7 can be made much better with 5LL suspension and suplex front springs . But Morgan have to make 'more modern ' cars due to regulations unfortunately !

Thanks for sharing, Steve. How did you experience the performance and agility of the Plus Six? Acceleration and weight balance in corners?

A great review. Steve didn't the 3.7 l have the MMC five link fitted? I found it rather flat but very well planted after my Roadster's lively leaf springs.

Heinz , the performance is as others have noted very considerable in all 8 yes 8 gears ! And the suspension , cornering, agility is such that you can lean it into corners without worry. I still prefer more character in a morgan though !

You may well be correct , I will ask when I get back to kh later next week when the new brake cables from the factory come for my morgan. I really like the 3.7 without the white rounders on and with some duplex springs on the front. The manual gearbox and the exhausts are wonderful , and love the dark green colour .

If you ask me nicely I will swap my Roadster for the Green Goddess! You know it makes sense.

A 3.7 roadster with sports exhaust is the way to go for anyone with a 3 litre roadster ! Paddleshifts are boring compared to a nice manual gearbox which the 3.7 has , and it has character in spades and is cheap compared to a mk2 plus 8 . Mind you there are 2011-2015 plus 8's on pistonheads for £74k which is pretty decent too !
