Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) M16 vs T16

Good evening,

My father is considering to buy a Morgan +4 but is hesitating between a 91 and a 93.

Does anybody know if the the T16 engine is better than the previous one?
Better performance?
Better Miles to the gallon?
Better reliability?
Or if there is no real difference.

Thanks a lot

Julien

Julien, some think that spares for the M16 might get scarce but there is a good site, Rover Tech which is very helpful. I get 40mpg on a long run but not if I am driving hard. Performance depends on what you do to the engine and there are options here from people like Mogsport. My 89 M16 has been reliable and just gets better. Meabh.

T16 is better.. and you can bolt on a turbo!!

There is a good article at the link below on the development of the M16 into the T16
