I like ABS and am sure it has saved me a few times from stupid Kangaroos on roads with a bit of snow or ice. Seeing we hardly ever get ice of snow here when we do it is scary and unexpected. All my cars are non ABS, but all my wife's have had ABS and they certainly stop better in an emergency. Given the choice I would take it but would I buy a Mazda MX5 instead of a Morgan Plus 4 just because it has ABS? Probably not but the fact the +4 is 3 times the cost with no safety features at all certainly makes it a hard sell to the household finance controller who sees both as just another 2 seat uncomfortable convertible toy like every other car her husband has owned.
I hate automatic gearboxes but a CX chassis with a smaller engine and manual gearbox could be something I would really like.
Does the Plus 6 body use wheel arches formed in this?
If so does that help it keep the tradition and therefore make it a real Morgan? Also does the jig then become a bottle neck that will limit the number of CX and Trad Morgans that can be made in total?
