As a Roadster owner since 2008......................
It's not just Roadsters, the whole market is swirling around. My experience of my Series 1 is that running costs are the same as my Plus 4. Trads are not given to big bills if looked after and used regularly.
A Roadster is not as agile as a Plus 4 or 4/4 but lighter than a Plus 8 at the front because the shorter engine is further back in the chassis. But like any Trad, they will confound you with subtle differences over time, and not so subtle differences.
In the end, at the right price, any Morgan will sell.
But............. if you were forced to let go of one........... which one would you keep........ Roadster or +4..........???????

This is the six million dollar question. Although my Roadster "edges" the performance, I specced the Plus 4 and watched it being built from a bare chassis and box of bits. This makes it like chosing a favourite child. I really think about this a lot, as I approach a time when they must be sold. Maybe the answer is to advertise both and see which goes first. The Roadster is easier to drive, corners flat, better engineered and with rocket acceleration. (Being 2005 it also has cheap road tax if that matters). My Plus 4, being on a 4/4 footprint really gives nothing away on the road. It would lose a bit of ground on a long drag on a straight road, but loses nothing on the corners. The thin tyres present a different feel but the grip is still there. There's a difference between the two in the bends but it's hard to explain, its a fingers on the wheel and seat of the pants as the chassis moves thing.
