I wanted to continue with a Morgan. It was a Plus8 2002 with 70k+ miles. I really liked the car. To keep it I listed jobs that would keep it for longer. Nothing really major but sorting age related things. Paintwork, future proofing wiring, etc. I was drifting away from too much "hands-on" age and time constraints. Whilst on a weekend away we visited Berrybrook ( I bought the Plus8 from them several years ago). We did a test drive in a manual 2020 car. I was impressed. Mrs sospan liked it and was searching dealers for cars that night! Had a test drive of an auto and we bought it.
Pre Covid the annual mileage was about 6k. The "lost" Covid years prompted thoughts of enjoying life and trad mileage increased again to 6k So, yes the Plus Four was not cheap but trade-in helped a lot with a good price. Add in the intention of more mileage with less tinkering, the impressive performance that was more than compensating the v8 loss (apart from the sound!) The car is roomier, more comfortableand the ride better.
My Morgans have never been unused. I want to drive the car and by going CX I can do that. Plus Four or Plus Six? The Four is plenty of car with auto, Sport, Spirt+ and paddle shift so pootles along or gets the adrenaline rush. The Plus8 did that but I now have more. A modern car with the same Morgan styling. It has extended the enjoyment of Morgan ownership .
