The press release stating that a manual gearbox as an ‘option’ is a bit disappointing though
The manual will be a deal maker for a lot of prospective customers even if it does cost a few pennies more

As Soleng said 190 bhp will be spot on power wise.
I must confess to being a wee bit confused about the aversion to auto boxes. Don't they have an option to select gears manually any more?
The only auto box car I ever drove regularly was a Vauxhall Cavalier back in the early 1990's and you could just take it out of drive and use the box manually. Made an otherwise tedious car a bit more interesting to drive on twisty bits. I did have a short drive in a mate's BMW 5 series and that seemed so competent in auto mode I didn't bother to try and use it manually.
I can well understand not wanting the complexity of a modern car, but in that case why consider buying a new Morgan in the first place? There are loads of used ones about to give that authentic classic vibe.
