I'm with you Keith, every criticism of the trad Morgan is just why I love them, if I wanted comfort and non involving driving I would have possibly bought an MX5.
As stated in my former posts, it's not black or white. I own a 4/4 trad since more than 30 years and keep enjoying it, I take care of it as a family car till one of my sons will look after it. Beginning of 2023 I bought new a late model year PlusFour 2022, because apart from the comfort and compliance with emission rules, I wanted the wooden dash, in my case the manual shifting and I wanted a MotoLita SW as replacement. That's for me a real Morgan feeling, so I did not mind not to have no ESP or airbags. I think however if someone is in the market for a PlusSix, I would always go for one with ESP. Last weekend I had a very nice tour in the Northern part of The Netherlands, in my trad 4/4, and I loved it. it is now garaged in the North as my PlusFour is at home in the garage in the South of Holland. I was glad on Sunday evening after dinner at 21 h that I could drive in my Tintop back home, a 230 km leg. 30 years ago I should do that in my 4/4. Although in good health and condition at 69 years I do feel the 30 years of age in difference. In he CX the way back should be more easy to make. They are all Morgans. We have to cherish the marque. The aging Morgan population is well served with the CX(V) generation. Nothing against MX5's or Porsches or whatever, but I should always try to drive Morgans as long as it is possible. So let us be positive!!
