Hello,
since 17 months I am a proud owner of a new 4/4.
Now that the 110.th anniversary models are available I am thinking about buying a Plus 4...
My favorite one:
Grey, black leather, dark grey piping, everflex hood, alloy wheels (incl. spare), valance on front, overriders on the back.... and all the Options of the 110.th package.
Now my question:
What do you think about this thoughts?
Is it worth a surcharge of 10k€?
Thanks for comments in advance....
once: Black M3W with „Jaffa“ leather; 2015
now: Sport grey 4/4 with black leather; 2017

It's not 'whether it's worth it'. It's 'whether you want it enough to buy it.'
We're all expecting our cars to hold their value (less a consideration for the fun we've had) so it's just a case of how much money you have tied up in the car until you sell it again.

The cost of buying new is for the pleasure of the process and being able to visit the factory and see your car in build, and being able to talk to the people who are building it.
Its priceless!!

If you really want it and can afford it why not? The 110 Anniversary offer is attractive with all the "free extras"- but note orders need to be in before 31st Jan - for delivery anytime during 2019. The cost to change seems reasonable in my view.
I would 100% have a long test drive in a plus 4 just to be sure your happy with the model - its handling and power delivery etc. I'd be keen to know how the character of the Plus 4 compares to your current 4/4 and which you prefer.

The special offers for the 110th anniversary are very tempting. I am also of your opinion that it is a lot of fun to drive different Morgans. I did so as well.
If you want to know what you can do with a 4/4 you are welcome to ride mine before you order a Plus 4. But as I said, sometimes the new beast is the ultimate kick and I don't want to influence you to stay with the 4/4.

I have some friends living there they run a stationary place . Hans has a classic German car been in his garage many years . He keeps saying he will get round to it . Gave him and his daughter a ride in my Mog . But his wife said no hates the wind and if its not a red hot day she is not happy. Hans tells me she has the c/heating on in the summer . Hence the no ride in my Mog. Enjoy it

For less than £10k you could probably pop a 250 bhp two litre Ecoboost engine into your 4/4. Just a thought.
