I found this a very useful topic - and one that was bound to get lots of responses.
I'm planning to order a new Roadster very soon and was interested in all the comments. Obviously a test drive will be my first step.
Way back in 1970, I had a 1961 Plus 4 4 seater 1991cc TR3 engine. Absolutely loved it, and since then, I have never stopped longing to have a Morgan again. I bought my Plus 4 from Phoenix Motors in Exeter, sadly no longer trading.
I wonder what happened to this car?
Family life and all the practicalities that go with it meant that it wasn't really possible to have one again up until now. Obviously the Roadster has loads more power than my old Plus 4 did, but but I currently run a TVR Griffith 500 (0-60 in 4.2 secs) so the power will not be a surprise to me.
What are people's thoughts on a sports exhaust? My TVR has a wonderful sound with a standard exhaust as it has a Rover V8 engine (like a Plus 8 except 5 litres!). Does a sports exhaust make a massive improvement to the V6 sound or does it make it annoying on a long run. (Bound to get responses of "individual taste" but I would still like to hear other people's views).
Also, is the lack of power steering a problem, or is it something that one gets used to?
I hope that this isn't highjacking the thread, but I felt the questions in the topic related to a Roadster as much as a 4/4.
Best wishes,
Roger
