I wish people wouldn't publish reports like that.
I'd finally convinced myself that a +8 was a stupid idea and a M3W and Aldermog the Roadster makes more sense.
Now I wonder...again!!

In my opinion the plus 8 is a fabulous car and it's only the cost that doesn't make sense. If they were a more realistic price I am sure Morgan would have a waiting list for them. I have thought about the Speedster but for me its just not practical enough and I hate getting wet.

.... and I hate getting wet. And you own a Morgan? +1  After this weekends Red Bull Air Race run out to Ascot my Aero Screens will be going and staying on my classic Plus 8 - some of my best long journeys have involved lifting floorboards to let the water out -you either get it or you don't. In Morganing there are no rights or wrongs as the custodians are all different so is their modus operandii IMHO....

I have thought about the Speedster but for me its just not practical enough and I hate getting wet. During my Factory visit this week I was told that some 50% of the Speedsters ordered have windscreens and hoods as part of their spec, which must bring them up to nearly the same price as a Plus 8.  I suppose it must be the old trick of telling the Finance Committee the base price, as extra's don't really count in the price when you're using man maths!
