I was waiting for this to kick off........!!!😂😂
To say a 4/4 is 'underpowered' is totally missing the point.......🤷🏻♂️

WIth the 4/4 the quality of your driving experience is down to how you drive it, just potter down country lanes and the lack of torque quickly reveals itself. stir the gearbox a little and with a bit of spirited driving it can be a rewarding car. I find the taller tyres generate a less harsh more compliant ride, I found the 4/4 cabin a little cramped for my large frame.
I've had 3 4/4's and must admit my '12 Plus 4 Sport with taller tyres than standard (better ground clearance) , no spare wheel and no spare wheel cut out, just a single sheet of metal across the rear deck so less weight and chassis flex at the rear, was my most spirited and enjoyable trad. to drive. The extra power and better handling put even my 70th 4/4 to shame by comparison..
I'm not in any way knocking the qualities of the 4/4, just in my opinion the Duratec/Mazda gearbox Plus 4 Sport was for me a much better car., flatter handling, more compliant ride and with that extra power made it my version of the ultimate light driving trad Morgan.
PLus 4 Sport was a great car and would take it anyday over a 4/4 for country lane fun at still quite modest speeds.Take it anyday over the Roadster, which IMHO had just too much power for the chassis and could not be enjoyed to the same extent down twisty country roads as my 4/4's or Plus 4. Horses for courses..
