 Trip out with swmbo to a micro brewery this afternoon and dropped in to a supermarket to get sat paper , always like to park next to a reasonable sports car but there was only a carrera s which had to do ! Hope you swept the leaves up before you left.  Green godess does a pretty good job of anything close by what with four leaf blowers fitted !  If you put some trims on the end pointing upwards maybe it might blow mini skirts upwards?

I went to Allons yesterday to test drive a plus 4 to compare with a 4/4 .I can see difference with pulling power.
Didn't quite discover best seating position to avoid totally stretching leg to use clutch whilst avoiding leg ache whilst not in use .
I also put roof up to ensure head not pushing against roof ..no problem
Didn't realise how much roof interferes with vision whilst looking right ..sort of need to tilt head down .Perhaps need to view seat tilt
On the bright side wife loved the Morgans as first time seen .Actually to my surprise she also loved the Aero 8 in their showroom at £90k !
Anyway just driving it was great .Even had opportunity to go over speed bumps with no problem which had been a big worry
Wife is keen on Monterey Blue ..she likes the darker blue .Interested to see difference with Midnight Blue

To clarify it won't be the Aero 8! However even I was surprised how much more attractive it looked in the flesh compared to pictures
Also had a peak at MORGAN boarding school luggage ,as I term it to put on luggage rack .Looks the part
Now comes difficult decision of what next ! I think subconsciously I have just hiked up my budget substantially

Daft-boy question here....but other than the engine, the wider wings, weight and very slightly wider track is there any difference between the 4/4 and +4?
As mentioned before I have a 4/4 with 2.0 duratec.

Andy,
you are correct. The cockpit was slightly wider on the +4, but by the 75 anniversary I am not sure if that was still true. Someone will know.

As mentioned before I have a 4/4 with 2.0 duratec. The body tub is now common across all trads. Options vary.

As mentioned before I have a 4/4 with 2.0 duratec. No such thing as a daft question.. Since around 2010 or 11 (I think.) body tubs are the same size on all Trads. Overall width is wider on P4 & Roadster due to bigger wheel offset, and wings to match. In fact the wings are the same from Supaform, but trimmed on the inner edge to suit the model. Engine and drivetrains differ, but suspensions are the same. The ARP4 had a different rear suspension too.. Howzat..?
