Just where is there room on the dash or under it, for a radio? I can’t believe that they haven’t designed a dash to include a radio🙄. And please everyone don’t say that ICE is wasted in a Morgan...it was in my Trads but this car is competing in a different market and it’s needed!


The stereo is listed as a standard feature on the price list. Could be a misprint..Aren't these two cars test / show cars though ?


And in one of the Geneva interviews Jon Wells mentions redesigned doors to include speakers so there must be an audio system and as you rightly point out it’s on the price list

However a conventional radio receiver with an ariel might be what Yann is taking about

Me? I want a Bluetooth enabled DAB Radio, that is all.
The lack of one could be a deal breaker.

Exactly what I would want too. That is exactly what I am thinking of fitting as a replacement of the existing radio in the Plus 4. I will probably fit a microphone for hands free calls, if only to answer and say hold on the till I find a place to stop.

If the speakers are “hidden” in the doors. Maybe the audio system is equally hidden

I think it is easy to overlook the noise that a car radio can make in an open top car. You'd have to have the volume up pretty high when doing any speed, and it would still be loud when idling at lights. There is a particular junction in my town which is always noisy from car speakers, those poor residents. Of course its only the young tearaways doing it, you never hear any Mozart.
And dont get me started on people with phones on trains.....

I know it's exhausting sometimes, mostly they listen to Stravinsky blush

Maybe the Plus 6 is progress compared to trad owners only listening to anything conducted by (Sir Simon) Rattle? Said with affection for all things trad of course, seeing as I'm a new and very happy owner!

We listen to music, MP3 on a memory stick, or the radio for music and traffic info, when we are on the road. Up to 100 kph (60 mph) there is no problem at all beyond that the wind noise starts to get progressively worse. Once you reach Warp 1 (130 kph) it becomes difficult to hear the sound system but not impossible. I have toyed with the idea of fitting small speakers in the space just behind the doors where the speakers were fitted on older cars.

I would definitely want a DAB radio with Bluetooth and, if I was buying a new car I would request a 4 speaker system to be fitted.

PS. The music we listen to is predominantly jazz, blues, classic rock, or Portuguese fado smile

I have a bit of a conundrum.

I was fully intending to get an electric car.

But now this has been revealed and me being of 6'3" with some midriff expansion and a condition that suffers with the heavy clutch spring.

I am sorely tempted, it'd have to be a base version as such.

As I was intending to spend some money on my Roadster over the coming years (T5 gearbox, some paintwork, possible 5link rear suspension)

It has me seriously wondering if I could do some creative accounting. I will have to resist visiting any dealerships with spaniels!

I really like these very very much and don't even need any encouragement from Peter Jenks!

Oh and I may tick the two tone option!

Time to get a second job maybe?
