That is where the best value and driving experience is to be found at that sort of budget.

There are plenty to choose from


I have never driven a 4/4 sport and came across one for the first time at Life's Motors in for a service and Matt spoke highly of them, what is it that makes them so desirable?

It is a combination of features , as usual .

1 That 1.6 Ford Sigma engine is a peach. It loves to rev , it pulls relatively well for a 1600cc even from low down but after 2500 rpm when the cams come in it really flies , it will return over 40 mg even driven "con brio" , and it is tuneable if you do feel the need for some extra horses.

2 The 4/4 is a more nimble car due to its smaller dimensions , lighter weight , and a chassis that it is in pretty good balance , so you can drive "tail out" or very tidy at will. Tail slides can be provoked at will and caught so easily.

3 The lighter weight means it stops well with the same brakes,.

4 It was only available in a relatively small number of colour combinations but each of them suited the car well, and kept the cost down.

Although I don't own one , I have driven several (including the National Trust special) and they were all good.

If only only I had space for a second Morgan in the garage , that would be the one.
