I've always wanted a Morgan and with things as they are, combined with the fact that Morgan were discontinuing the traditional cars, we decided that it might be the last chance to realise a dream. We then test drove a new Roadster and a New Plus Four. They look similar enough to the man in the street but the driving experience is very different. We have a Mercedes C43 and an Audi TT as our daily drivers and the Plus Four was pretty similar to those cars, wheras the Roadster is a traditional and far more involved drive. I wanted a true Morgan and not something that looked like a Morgan but drove like a modern car. Nothing wrong with that but it isn't what I wanted. And you can't have bumpers, the steering wheel is horrible, and don't get me started on the gear lever on the automatic!
I totally understand your choice. I loved the new Morgan but also felt it had lost something. I think you have bought one of the Last new Classic cars. I wonder what will happen to residuals over time? My guess is the trads may not do as well as the CX cars in the short term but suspect longer term that could well flip over and the trads be the more sought after.
