”The performance and all-round capability of the Plus Six has proved so good that Morgan bosses regard it as a spiritual successor for the potent Plus 8 of former times, rather than the V6 Roadster.”
Sorry, but I don’t think it will have one tenth of the charisma or character of a traditional Plus 8. I agree it is going to take a lot for me to go the Plus Six route the autobox and gutless exhaust uppermost, it's the total rawness of the Plus 8 Trad that beats all others for me and of course the sound track. 0-60 in 6 Secs and 125mph is all I can use anything more is purely academic.

Inevitable. The cars will look the same on the outside. The appearance of the 4/4 for example, evolved from the first incarnation till now; subtle, but noticeable changes. I think the new platform cars will simply carry on this appearance evolution. I for one do not crawl under the car every day to stare at the chassis.

Very glad MMC have moved on with the new chassis , lets face it better handling easier steering , better suspension than the trad , ok purists will mutter but thats what purists do , look at the muttering when porsche ended tthe aircooled 911 .....they had to due to emissions and MMC have to for regs and getting the cars into new markets etc etc .....

I think the chassis is immaterial - if it works better then fine - I hope there is still a bit of ash around to creak and that they still produce a manual gearbox. I`m sticking with my 4/4 sport now until too decrepit to drive it - and then apparently steel chassis cars will become very desirable (and sell for a good price).
MMC have to look to the future or go under and it is the iconic Morgan shape that many of us love and that, hopefully, will be retained.
