I was new to Morgans late last year. Drove a 4/4 and a +4 (already decided a Roadster would be too far up the scale for my first Morgan) and really enjoyed both. To me, the +4 felt more planted on the road and had more torque to pull away, but the 4/4 felt more 'nimble' and very enjoyable to drive in a different way as you had to work the engine/gearbox more. But these are only my personal views - I suggest you try them both to see what you like and enjoy.
And do visit the factory.
Still undecided on 4/4 or +4 (would be happy with both I think) we looked around. Surprisingly, there was not a huge difference in price between a 6-18 month low mileage and new car of either type. Eventually saw and bought a +4 with a colour and spec that we wanted (and was a 'typical' Morgan colour/spec combination to ease resale - if that ever happens!
) . Also, there was a certain spaniel involved ...
But not looked back since - just got back from another sunny afternoon run round the Chilterns - miles of smiles yet again!
As has been said on TM before - and I confirm it's true - if you look around the right car will find you.
