No but almost .Those cars are not my car.
I like my arp4 but i will wait untill a 2 litres is coming.
I'm also looking forward to the 4cyl-edition, for 2 different reasons: it wil never drive as good as my GT4 and therefore doesn't need to have such high power output AND no turbo engine will ever sound as good, so... a 4cyl will do now I need to convince Thommy-S to lower the drivers-seat

Am I right in thinking that the Plus six has ABS but not ESC, but I thought ESC is mandatory for new cars since 2012. Guess some sort of dispensation.

Just for those of you that yearn for a 4 pot petrol engine IF Morgan is to choose the BMW 4 cylinder in the BMW 135i - I think you are in for a cracker: BMW's 2.0-litre petrol turbo now produces 301bhp between 4500-6250rpm and 450Nm between 1700-5000rpm.
For the all new M135i it was get to 0-62mph in just 4.8secIn a much lighter Morgan, that should be.....interesting  I would still prefer the PlusSix - as this car is a part use "hobby or toy" only....and I would therefore prefer the much smoother and tuneful six pot. 
Honesty means doing it right, even when no one is looking!

310 hp may be ok but it would put it out of a lot of potential markets. A lower powered 4 cylinder would probably be more appropriate. In the real world all that power is only useful for boasting in the pub and for the traffic light Grand Prix. What it means is that you can break the speed limit and lose your licence in 4.8 seconds  When having fun on your favourite twisty bits it only makes sense if you are the "drift king".

I thought the engines used in the new-Mini and new transverse 1 series would be different design/mount to the other longitudinal lumps that would interchange with the L-6 in the Plus6? The gearbox and ancillaries would be different for thermal reasons?
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Low volume manufacturer, at present it's not a requirement. As others more qualified than I will tell you, keeping up with the mountain of legislation is a nightmare...

ain't Brexit going to solve all that regulation-shizzle That seems to be a good Idea! It also helps to solve problems with oversea customers! In this Case Morgan can't sell any cars to the EU.
