Moving back into reality for a moment, what is the considered opinion between a narrow bodied +4 and a normal bodied +4..?

Narrow bodied Plus4 is classically delish.....Normal bodied Plus4 is lovely. You can see where I'm going can't you?

Steve, if you are talking current cars, the body tub is identical for all the Trads.

Some nice ideas Dhango...and especially the paint scheme. I'm not too sure about the safety aspect of the roll bar though. To be effective it needs to be taller but roll bars on road cars are not always ideal in an accident...you can do an awful lot of damage to your head if you hit the bar if you don't wear a helmet. Yes, Jays, those colors are sweeeeeeeeeet... That photo of the roll-over bar is just an example, I imagine there are bigger and taller somewhere, after all I'm only 5'8"...oh, sorry, I'm hearing Led Zeppelin's "No quarter", must go.

Been looking through the for sales sites but they are all trade.Is there any particular place that private sellers go or once you have a morgan are you trapped into morgan dealers?

Howard.If the price is right at any dealarship go for it some are better than others, having bought a new car at Newton I wouldent give them a hostess trolley to service and after sales very bad the opinion of very many Taffmoggers. However you pay your money and take your choice any Morgan dealer will be more than happy to give you a test drive,good luck with the hunt just ready for summer.

Howard as has been said drive a few & take a friend who can be critical if you can.
I bought from dealers to get a sense of security with a second hand car.
The +4 is probably a better starter car as you have more torque than a 4/4 & so aren't gear changing all the time.
Good luck
