Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Plus Four, Supersport & Plus Six (CX & CXV Generation Vehicles) Plus Four s/h - which year?

The pre MY23 CX has IMHO a more traditional dash board and not having airbags allows the fitment of a wood steering wheel. I've always enjoyed the trad style dash with lots of polished wood, and for me, its what you are looking at all the time when you are sitting in the car, so it needs to work for you.This is my cockpit and the steering wheel and especially the auto gear lever, seem less noticable and blend more into the background. After years of driving trads.it just makes me feel more at ease and at home , its so in keeping with body styling




Certainly, in the recent wetter and slippy roads, I felt the backend slid a little without much provocation, it still has it's original Avons (which aren't the best), so better tyres may help, but I.m sure that traction control maybe of more benefit, than I first thought on the MY23 and later cars. The music setup I'm finding a bit of a pfaff, but I might have found a solution by having a small blue tooth MP3 player in the car all the time. The comfort plus seats are a boon and the ride of a CX is really compliant and it feels a much lighter car than my later trads. The extra torque of the auto can certainly be felt, and the car moves when asked with relative ease and really economical to boot ..

I really enjoy the CX, I wouldn't go back to a trad, it's so much easier to live with and drive on a day to day basis/ I've had some great times in my trads, but as age catches up with you, I'm sure I will have as much fun in the CX requiring much less effort and not having to think about grease guns on long trips is something I will not miss. . Just simple things like the location of the handbrake means you are not having to stretch and bend forward , balancing the clutch especially on a hill, whilst trying to release the fly off handbrake, in the CX the handbrake is just there by your side, so much easier, especially in an auto.

They are not perfect, they are still very much a Morgan, and just as enjoyable if not more so.
