Well done to MMC. This looks like a really sound bridge into another market segment, and i’m sure the sales will support the continuing trad models very well. Hopefully it will bank up the coffers before the hydrogen revolution

I don't understand why they couldn't have used the one in the +8, it matches the hand brake. I assume it full of eletrickery, microswitches, led lights, etc, hopefully some specialist will develop some after market shiny bits for the Plus6, as per all the trad bits you can choose

I assume this is where Morgan's limited R&D budget comes into play. I'm sure an outside specialist could have come up with something a bit more 'in keeping' with the design ethos. Maybe a job for 'Morgan Park' to earn a few pennies......  James

Does anyone know why Morgan has gone with "Plus Six" rather than the more logical "Plus 6"? The MMC website is consistent with "Plus 4" and "Plus 8" so they seem to have broken with convention. I notice this thread contains the combinations "Plus Six", "+6" and "Plus 6", so I think I will call it the "+Six"

I know a man who can cover it in a wood veneer, and for that matter any other parts you wish. He made a solid wooden gear knob for me but said that it would have been easier for him to apply a veneer to the original metal.

I notice that Morgan has already Brexited. The demo cars are not fitted with EU GB plates.
