For me, one of the things with trad Morgans is that the chassis/suspension/tyre combination limits the car's absolute performance in the real world. I accept that performance upgrades are a big part of the Morgan world but when you're working with 1930's technology you're only going to be able to go so far.......
Once you've blasted to 60 a few times....then what....? It all seems pretty pointless...... or maybe I've grown up......🤷🏻♂️😆
AFAIK..... the 1.8 duratec was only around for a couple of years, after the zetec and before the sigma..... again.....afaik...... the big difference was chain driven cams as opposed to belt, but if I'm wrong, doubtless someone will know.......
Narrow wings, skinny tyres and 'sensible' power, for me, make for more of a 'retro' driving experience, that's what I've always liked about the 4/4. The fact that, if you really want to go faster, you have to almost wring its neck, again just seems.... right......
I know that dropping a big engine in is the obvious thing to do if you must go faster, but....again.... for me it's all a bit unnecessary..........
