We believe it will be fitted with a straight 6... Morgan say in the Autocar article it will have an engine "never before fitted in a Morgan". A straight six fits that statement.
Neither has a turbocharged four..or three... Curiouser and curiouser.

It wouldn't make any sense to build both the current Roadster and a new chassis with a straight six.
They could end up with a shed full of V6 engines unsold.
Which is why I think until the end of the Roadster production is announced, they won't build a six version of the new chassis.
And I suspect there will be a gap between to generate demand.
Simple!

No one has been paying enough attention to the developmental work being carried out in Cornwall right in front of your eyes by Griffo  that simple.. Possibly be called a 4/4 T  with optional urban camo paintwork. Now the results of this work I really am interested in hearing about - I bet it'll go like it off a stainless shovel

You can't call it a Plus 6 because that name should have been given to the V6 Roadster. Possible Names ! Plus straight six ? New plus Straight six ? Plus straight six T ?

More likely to be the N55 rather than the newer B58. BMW selling off the run out engines in stock. If Morgan have to make the jump from the old V8 to a new engine/transmission they would want them to have the longest possible emissions and shelf life? The level of investment cannot be wasted in their balance sheet so needs to be maximised?
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

That's one of the more sensible suggestions I've seen in this thread so far Alistair!
As for comments about mirrors, people forget that to meet C&U* regs mirrors have to meet a certain minimum size - the round ones do not do so, so cannot be supplied as OE fit. As someone else has already posted, a simple mod will allow some extra movement in the nearside mirror.

 Who remembers a TV programme called Daktari? No idea what its about, but the Mog sparked off a brain cell about a stripy safari car.
