Personally i have not driven the 4/4 with the earlier ford gearbox but i bought a new one late last year and the mazda gearbox is superb. So is the 1600 ford sigma engine - a real gem that has more low end pull than i was expecting - plus a real zest to rev. A 4/4 is very light weight which really helps its agility and performance. A real shock has been its economy - even driven with spirit it returns over 40mpg.
Its great to spec the car to your own taste ( take your time on choices) and if you buy new you will know how its been cared for from day one and get a long warranty.
If you can afford it you'll not regret buying new in my opinion
Just a thought - its the 80th anniversary of the 4/4 this year and Morgan have a special edition coming i'm sure........
