Just Getting Started

The Brooklands Roadster

I recently had the pleasure of driving the new Brooklands Roadster, and can report that this latest version contains some notable improvements, that make this a great car to drive. The twin anti tramp bars allows for some spirited acceleration through the gears, and although initially, I couldn�t understand the point of fitting power steering to a classic car, it does noticeably improve the driving experience. The new seat design is sporty and comfortable, even if the head restraints are a bit chunky; but of course they are there for safety reasons not looks. The exhaust note sounded fruity with plenty of burble, due to the car being fitted with the sports option. I like the two tone Brooklands theme, and especially the styling of the rear panel which has the option to replace it with a spare tyre. All in all a great car with only 50 being produced.

At least 1 is unsold. The new dials are just wrong...yes, it would have cost Morgan more to re-configure the ECU but they alone would make me look at a used 3L Roadster. Also, the 6 speed box is bigger than the 5, this means a new tunnel and trim so the footwell space is smaller than on the standard Roadster. Finally, a Cyclone Roadster specified exactly as Aldermog would be close to �52K. Sorry Morgan, that is just to much. Peter, 66, 2016 Porsche Boxster S No longer driving Tarka, the 2014 Plus 8...
