Having read PeterJ's text I'm a little worried. You see I've had a 981 Boxster S for 9.5 years, far longer than any previous car I've owned, and simply because I can't think of anything to replace it with, and for all the reasons Peter mentions.
Over the last few months I've considered a Morgan Plus 4, had a look at a few and been for a drive, but that list of Peter's keeps coming back to haunt me. I'm not one of the people who worship at the shrine of the manual gearbox, if you want connection to the car buy one without ABS for the excitement of cadence braking, no synchromesh on the gears, for the fun of double de-clutching and maybe carburettors for the morning joy of juggling the choke.
So I'm not a purist and I'd be buying the automatic, but stopping to put the hood up when there's a downpour instead of slowing down and pressing a button; I don't know. I did all that with my first car, an Austin Healey Sprite back in the 60s, and what was fun as a teenager isn't as exciting in your 70s.
Morgan drivers, please tell me why I should buy one.
I've had a few 718 models, one with the power top and the other being the Spyder with the manual roof. I have a 4/4 with the very old school style 9 stud hood. Perhaps I haven't been out in the Morgan enough but normally I get a wee bit of a warning when it's about to rain and then duck for cover whilst I put the roof on. I will agree, doing so in the Porsche with the power top was so much easier but this is assuming one is on a city street or B road where you can slow down enough to activate.
The Spyder was a different kettle of fish. I swear I had to walk around the car more than I do with the Morgan!
Your 981 is a fantastic car as is the 718. Whilst my time with Porsche was beyond memorable and one I would love to repeat, there is something quite unique in driving a Morgan and as DaveW said, well, he hit the nail on the head. A new Plus Four will not disappoint you if it's a car that you truly are attracted to.
