Looking at the photos posted above of Rob and Craig’s cars, makes me realise what is being lost. The Trad just has a grace and elegance which is not carried over in the new chassis cars to the same degree. The Aero derived Plus 8 and the new a Plus 6 are handsome enough but there is something lacking. They just look a bit brutish in compassion and, like others have commented, pastiches of a traditional Morgan.
Hi David
I totally agree that the trad has a certain elegance and purity of design that the Plus 6 doesn't despite being so impressive.
I realise that the trads have their shortcomings and would be almost impossible to live with on a daily basis, but to me the whole point of the car is that Its so different to drive from a modern car. Every trip in a trad is memorable.
I'm sure the CX cars will be be successful, however the trads will always have a following and as I said earlier I feel mine is even more desirable now trad production is finishing.
Its certainly going to be an interesting time with new CX models forthcoming, however if I were you I'd be very happy with the Roadster you have on order!
