Mmm well theres a lot not to like!And thats putting it mildly.
The rear stalks look hideous and obviously are going to get snapped off.
The Moustache is well...awful ..hides the V twin look a treat.As do the Cats.
For me the ride height looks, well, way too high.
Yep - all you current owners should be rubbing your hands together with glee!

Ok, i have a quick scoot through this and i fully intend to change several things;
1st. wing mirrors.
2nd. noise reduction in take. So now no room for under bonnet storage. To be changed soonest. Even if i have to fit the double side intake by Harley.
3rd. Rectifier cover? What for?
4th. light stalks, there going before they broken off. With side reflectors!!!
Forward mounted headlights, may not be such a bad idea.
Has all this made stage upgrades unobtainable now?
Is this why Morgan have discontinued the sale of these kits?
Wider mudguards, what’s the point. By the time someone has been caught by the wheel nuts, they`ve been run over.
Oh yes, and brake disc guards. Seems pointless.
Ride height increase, no more bottoming out on speed humps.
Catalytic converters on exhaust, they are already there, are they not?. How many more are they going to fit?
And lest we forget, no tonneau studs. Riv-nuts!!!. How`s that going to work?
No sharp engine fins, new cams. If its just cams. they should be easy the swap out.

Ah forgot to mention the price increase.
Nothing released yet? But I heard it could be plus £3K

Oh dear oh dear. The ride height alone kills it for me. Awful.

Those exhausts look crack-tastic.
If I was buying again, I would not buy that.
Well done Morgan, you have upped the resale value of my original M£W ( not a typo ).
+1!

15% lower emission, better mileage etc... bet it's at least 15% slower and hotter running too! Just awful..

Sharp engine fins - you cant get near them because of the intake moustache.
Rear light stalks - a good earner for MMC in replacements.
No tonneau fittings - presumably retro fit only.
Intake moustache - marginally more attractive than Oz version.
Ride height doesn't look as much as the 4 inches rumoured may be alright in the flesh.
Is that really a 15% decrease in fuel consumption.
In general - oh dear.

It's probably put up with the changes, or no new cars on european roads. Cant blame Morgan for new regulations on health and safety.
.+8 Now gone for a 1800 4/4. Duratec in bright yellow.

Well, doesn't look TOO bad to me. Sharp engine fins - you cant get near them because of the intake moustache. Yes that looks funny. Chromed and elsewhere would be better, but perhaps these will just become a mount for faux JAP badges etc? Rear light stalks - a good earner for MMC in replacements. These need to be retracting like the old "winkers" of old! Maybe replace with a delta "wing" (and enhance the aero theme?) No tonneau fittings - presumably retro fit only. Seems odd. Perhaps the "hard passenger cover" per the EV version will be an option? Intake moustache - marginally more attractive than Oz version. Expect decorative covers for these in 3, 2, 1... Ride height doesn't look as much as the 4 inches rumoured may be alright in the flesh. Wonder if they changed the springs? Is that really a 15% decrease in fuel consumption... Will be interesting to see relative engine specs...
