What about a no-door option? It would be simpler and cheaper to build as well as more rigid. You mean the ARV6 perhaps Peter?

Yes - that's one thing that gave me the idea (and that car looks really good). Also, with the 3 wheeler, it is quite easy if you are still reasonably mobile to get in and out, especially if you have a steering wheel spacer, so I presume it would be possible for the 4/4 and Plus 4.

It is all explained here: 4/4 And here: 100 years Buy them, essential reading!! Got them both thanks. Buy the 100 years from the Factory; if you ask nicely, Steve will sign it. However, the replies on this thread so far are superior than those books details on the changes. I'm 6'2" and arguably over-weight, so the easier the ingress and exit and the better the view through the windscreen, the better. And I think heated screens are a great extra.

To my eyes, the cost of the long doors introduction (together with the newer superformed wings and/or the apparent wider tracks, at least in a 4/4) is a considerable dilution of the classic Morgan design. Anyone agrees?

I too prefer the long door look.

I prefer the narrow body / wings. Door length immaterial...

A narrow bodied Morgan followed me on a run recently and I couldn't help looking in the mirror and thinking how good it looked The length of the door and the distance to the rear 'hip' doesn't make a difference to me in the looks of the Morgan.
