Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Plus Four, Supersport & Plus Six (CX & CXV Generation Vehicles) Safety Recall - Brakes

I’m disappointed to read comments made by both owners and non-owners of the CX cars on the current problems.

Over the years I have been fortunate enough to own Morgans from a 1939 4/4 through to our present First Edition Plus Six – one of the first 50 cars. We had a 2017/18 Plus 4 automatic (conversion by Vittese) along with the Plus Six. The Plus 4 was a delight to drive but when compared with the Plus Six it was not even on the same page. When I collected the P6 on arrival and drove on the expressway I could not believe it was a Morgan! The handling and ride was so improved. With the 2018 Plus4 after 100 miles of driving and I was well shaken and ready for a rest, whereas in the P6 I can drive 300 miles and be ready to go out for the evening.

Yes I knew from day One that the brakes were soft and rather suspect, and this replacement is only doing what I would have done myself
.
And yes I know that the suspension springs and dampers are quietly failing and the ride height dropping such that we drag on bumps in the road. And that I’m about to replace them with new coil over damper units from SSL

All this will only go to make a very good Morgan into an incredible Morgan!
