Dave, I managed to get the cross member stuck in a gap on the ramp of a Lake Como ferry. That was interesting to say the least.

Basically the problem with Plus 4 ride height, and to a lesser degree Roadster (without considering the sump problem), is the tyre choices made by Morgan. To quote an ealier post of mine:

To sum it all up variations in axle centre height based on the tyres alone are: 4/4 12.69in or 322.32mm, Plus 4 12.10in or 307.34mm, Roadster 12.34in or 313.43mm, 195/65R15 12.49in or 317.24mm

In theory this means that the Plus 4 has the lowest ride height followed by the Roadster and that the 4/4 has about 15mm or more than half an inch more ground clearance than the Plus 4.


If you are worried about ground clearance, the best choices for a Plus 4 would be the narrow bodied version with 4/4 wheels and tyres followed by 195/65 R15 tyres if the standard width body. The Roadster would be better fitted with 205/65 R15 tyres which would also allow a 4/4 wheel and tyre to be used as a "space saver" spare.
