I am coming up to nine years of Morgan ownership during the first seven of which I covered some 48,000 miles in a Plus 4 and then a Roadster 3.7. My mileage has reduced considerably since but only because of Covid. I changed the Roadster for a 22MY Plus Four in September and barring a couple of outstanding issues am delighted with it. Like many in the forum when I first drove one in 2020 I dismissed it because of lack of internal storage space given the amount of touring we do. Half a glove box, no door pockets, no option of fitting a foot locker and seemingly much less room behind the seats. My mind was changed when the lockable internal box arrived albeit rather small to put it mildly. Then MMC came up with the transmission tunnel pockets, one on each side. I decided I could live with half a glove box. Last but not least there is more room behind the seats than I first thought as is demonstrated by the following. I am six feet tall and I do not need to have the seat right back as I had to in the Plus 4 and Roadster. My wife is five feet five so her seat is quite forward partly because she likes to use the optional passenger foot brake from time to time. But what about tools and jack I hear you ask which now have to be in the car rather than in the tray which no longer exists. Well, when we collected the new car we were in the Roadster packed for a weekend away the space behind the seats being completely full. We were able to fit all of our stuff out of the Roadster into the new Plus Four along with the tools and jack So I would recommend that you try doing that at your local friendly dealer if the lack of internal space is the one thing that is holding you back. You should also consider how many tools and spares you might need to carry in a CX car given that you can probably do little or nothing to fix it unlike a trad.
Best regards,
John
