Just an observation, Plus8 V8 owners talk about them, Roadster V6 owners drive them.

I am a big fan of the V6 Mustang engine.
What a wonderful piece of modern engineering it is.
And just so powerful. Some might argue too powerful for the standard Trad suspension.
Maybe that's a separate topic.
I loved my Roadster and am so glad that I was able to have it.
I do think it's the modern equivalent of the older V8s. After all that's how MMC positioned it at launch.
I have never driven a 3l V6 btw only the 3.7.
As for your decision you should make up your own mind.
Here's an idea though.
Take a pound coin ( a new shape one of course) throw it high in the air.
As it falls shout out your decision!!
Try it ..it might just help.
And if you do it alone nobody will know if you change your mind!

It seems to me that satisfying MrsKenA is the only logical way forward.

BTW: I just drove My +8 about 1,500 miles and a 2000 +8 owned by a Friend 3,500 miles. Not to worry. +8's are driven, at least by Me.

I have fond recollections of driving a '63 series IV with 109E and sliding transmission lever. My first Morgan.
