I've had three 3.0 Roadsters, all were great and perhaps the first was the sportiest and most fun to drive of these three cars, a 2005 S1. Unfortunately I have to say it was my first Morgan so I had no comparison and I had therefore taken its strengths for granted.
It was only later, in comparison with S2 and S3 (also great cars) that I was able to really appreciate the engine's revving ability and the superior Getrag transmission (its shift feel and the very good gradation of the gears). In other words, I am convinced that on the technical side MMC created a very well thought out car with the S1, everything fit together so well.irritated when this "Roadster" with "only" 6 cyl. appeared.
It's exactly this sort of perspective (and others that have alluded to similar experiences in this thread) that I find valuable, Heinz. The Roadster has its own character. Whilst replacing the Plus 8, it's no Plus 8 and offers an experience just as muscular, but different. And each iteration of the Roadster is different. That's why it would be nice to have a published history of the Roadster.
Any volunteers ? DaveW perhaps?
