You do need to spend time looking and driving the different models of Trad, whatever your initial thoughts. Any dealer worth their salt knows that giving people time pays dividends in the end.
It's the old cost/availability/colours/options scenario. Hit it all right & you've found your car.
I do get disappointed when people (and even some dealers..) refer to the 4/4 as the 'starter' Morgan. Some have that shallow view of perceived value, and if it's bigger and expensive then it must be best, an attitude that should remain within the junior management car parkers.
The 4/4 is a standalone product and has qualities that many only appreciate after going through the heavy steering and high costs ownership cycle. The car is all the better for a less is more philosophy, and I'm going to stick my neck out here when I suggest that the current mix of quality, upgrades and engine/gearbox is the best the factory have done for many a year.
Those 80th anniversary models are simply stunning in their execution, with no issues such as the other 'limited' ranges suffer from. Witness the launched P4SS and ARP4 for just two..! The Baby Doll was too track focussed to be included, but every 4/4 edition suffers none of the angst.
Just take your time and the car will make itself known to you, whether it's a big engine or a little 'un..
Good hunting & keep us informed.
