Yes. There are a number of Ford V6 engines in the chassis shop awaiting builds.

The Roadster is a completely different car, of course, but surely it's days must be numbered. In some countries the on-road cost of a new Roadster is already higher than that of a PlusSix.

You have to say the Roadster, cannot continue alongside the PlusSix.
The models are in a similar price band and are both are chasing a similar customer?
Honesty means doing it right, even when no one is looking!

Why not a Roadster with a EcoBoost 4 cyl?. Looks like to Me that similar performance to the V6 Ford is available.

No reason why an Ecoboost engined Morgan could not be called a Roadster to distinguish it from the Plus 4. I would bet, however, as I speculated in another thread, that it is more likely to use a BMW turbo 4 and not a Ford engine and that it will be in the CX platform.

From looking at the Build Quality of a 2019 Roadster Kit Car as being sold in the U.S. it looks to Me that even I could assemble one of these Roadsters. Morgan has spent some time and money to make these Roadster a lot more precise than previous Classic Morgans. Just removing and replacing the scuttle is very easy because they used captured nuts. Same with the innerfender, wings etc. I was impressed. The top is a joy rather than a struggle. I would not be surprised to see roll up windows soon if they decide to keep making the Roadster.
