Although it doesn’t look quite high enough for mine


At least you have hair!
I have always thought that if the roofline of the Plus 4 Plus had extended further back down towards the rear (similar to a TVR 3000M - http://tvrpre80s.de/angebot-3000m-cossi-lhd-2/ ) it would have been a success, notwithstanding the high price. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I never liked the look of the P4P purely because of the roofline.

Agreed I don't like the P4P roof line at all.

As above. The roof looks too bulbous. A sloping rear would be nicer. E-type/Triumph GT6 style.
Aero Supersport even......

An Ashley Sportiva Morgan roofline would be much better than taking inspiration from the P4P.

No even that is not a good look. Just a personal opinion. The Ashley spridget hardtop was a far better design. Just me again.

Reminds me of St Exupéry:

"Mon dessin ne représentait pas un chapeau. Il représentait un serpent boa qui digérait un éléphant.

J’ai alors dessiné l’intérieur du serpent boa, afin que les grandes personnes puissent comprendre. Elles ont toujours besoin d’explications."

"My drawing did not represent a hat. It represented a boa snake that was digesting an elephant.

I then drew the inside of the boa snake, so that grown-ups could understand. They always need explanations."

There is a very nice re-bodied Morgan in a museum in Spain but I can never find the photo when I want it. It has a very Italian, almost 60s Ferrari, look about it.
