The Classic (often called Traditional Morgans (Trads for short) are as close to owning a classic car (styling and some of the compromise (no fixed side windows) as you can purchase BUT without the hassle of rust, unreliability and other Classic car pitfalls.

A Classic Morgan will never be as easy to live with as a Mazda MX-5, Boxster, etc (namely because the roof will always take longer to put up, the sidescreen as less convenient and there is a greater chance of minor leaks when it is raining hard (this isn't a given but it can happen as the roofs are more akin to those on classic sports cars, not modern ones); however, having owned quite a few cars, nothing has put a smile on my face as consistently as a Morgan.

Many people have gone to the Aero 8 because it is viewed as a comprise between what I have said above and the offerings from other modern sports car makers; however, these drive very differently to Classic Morgans.

Have you driven the Morgan Plus 4 SuperSports yet? A test drive will probably tell you more than anything else I can write. smile


Thanks.

I had a 10 minute drive of +4 SS last Sunday, which is what triggered my interest. I need to get an extended test drive of at least 2 hours.

I also have a Boxster 3.4S which I have had to 3.5 years and now looking for a change.

My serious motorway car is a CLS55.
