... "but for me, I'm moving towards selling my modern 4/4 and buying a really old one. Just as a pet really..."
I totally 'get' this concept!
My 90 year old dad frequently effuses stuff about the early Morgans... he was so pleased that I changed from a Plus 4 to a 4/4. I love my car for that and many other reasons... I would also love to buy a really old 4/4 as well...
Having given this a LOT of thought over the last few months, would I buy a Plus Six... No. I would keep my 4/4 as my 'Morgan' and buy an bonded aluminium chassis, hand built, Lotus Exige 'Roadster' as my 'modern go faster, handle better weekend sports car. Bloody good DNA as well. And a bit cheaper :>)
I totally agree and am so pleased for the MMC that the Plus Six is starting off it's life so well. It will indeed be great when we begin to see the 'bespoke' ordered cars hitting the streets and even more so if it's eventually offered as a manual. I don't think the Plus Six will 'fit' the traditional colours etc... as a 'modern Morgan' I can see some really neat contemporary colour combinations looking totally awesome. I am sure there will be a 'track focused' version as well.
Jeez it's great that we are all different! It's also great having such a great 'forum' here .
