£63k for a generously specced Roadster is starting to look like a bargain.
I like the spec of your new car. Ill give you £64K for it!!

So that just leaves the price. I'd say a base spec Plus 4 with a Turbo 4 Cylinder engine will be £55,000 and a normally aspirated base spec 4/4 £50,000
I'd also say that a new CX chassis 4/4 will be a radical departure from the current 4/4 so will the claim of the 'worlds oldest production car' title still apply?
Given the engine power of a turbo 4 one has to think of the new CX PlusFour (intentionally in letters and all attached as is Morgan's PlusSix) as moving into Roadster territory. The entry point model is very unlikely to be a normally aspirated engine. My guess would be a 3 cylinder turbo. As such it would really be close to the current Plus 4, certainly with more usable torque in the mid range but less or about the same power at the top end. I can't really imagine what it would be called: 3/4 would not seem appropriate but perhaps in letters would work, ThreeFour?????

I just wonder if wing width will change, because the Plus Six is stocky, and if they all look like that with whatever engine.........
Maybe I'm a stick in the mud, but I love everything about Trads that "the enlightened ones" dislike.
