Good evening Gentlemen, In late September I wandered into Life Motors for a gander and ordered a 3.7 V6 Roadster a week later. Considering I have never driven a Morgan ...I just decided I needed one. So today I picked up my new vehicle. Holy moses it certainly shifts and has the same vague steering as my 1955 land rover ! Car is normal spec ...grey with saddle brown interior & black wire wheels ... internal / external mirrors changed ...wood steering wheel ..chassis covers ... ipod / radio .. luggage rack and lovely heated seats .  Am based around warrington in Cheshire so feel free to wave if you pass me ! Mike

Welcome Bumpy, lovely car. Holy moses it certainly shifts and has the same vague steering as my 1955 land rover ! I once had a short wheel base Landrover of about that vintage. If my Plus 4 had that sort of steering I would be complaining bitterly. First, don't believe the manual on tyre pressures. They need about 1.8 bar or they feel quite squirmy on the road. I suggest starting with 1.8 bar (26 psi) and then work out what is best for you. Perhaps a little softer. Get a good tyre gauge so that you always adjust it with the same instrument. Service station gauges are unreliable. If it still feels vague ask you dealer to check it out for you. It may need some adjustment.

Excellent! My 3.7, which I picked up in October, is also my first Morgan.....
I think you'll have great fun in it, it looks quite delicious and, unlike most sports cars, you don't feel like you're driving a computer.
