It must be approaching a year since the PlusSix release. Currently 10 are for sale on the Morgan website. We have had much discussion on the new model, the pro's and con's extensively debated. Learned members have given free advice to Morgan regarding future model direction, engine size, specification and price. But unless I am mistaken there is not one owner comment. Where is the 'Have you driven your Morgan today' thread? Are the cars only selling to collectors, any Talk Morgan member would be unable to contain themselves!

Are the cars only selling to collectors, any Talk Morgan member would be unable to contain themselves! Well it is well known that the PlusSix is not a true Morgan since it doesn't have a wooden chassis and grease required every 500 miles.

I am confused........I thought no Morgan had a wooden chassis, that it is only the frame that's wooden.

No it’s wooden except during the last war when there was a shortage, and it was made of rubber

I dont know how many hav been sold to real people in the UK. There are a few for sale but the ones I have come across are either dealer new stock or dealer demo cars they want to move on. None have more than 800 miles on them.
The car market isnt booming particulalry for the expensive specialist cars and pre brexit people were sitting on their wallets. I doubt that many have been sold in the UK.

We say chassis, they say frame. A Morgan has a wooden coach built body with a wooden frame. Wooden frame (UK) = Wooden Chassis (USA)...... And so the legend grows....

Where is the 'Have you driven your Morgan today' thread? Are the cars only selling to collectors, any Talk Morgan member would be unable to contain themselves! Just to drag us back onto the OP's initial question  We have at least 2 owners on TM that have commented very favourably, the comments are among the farcical amount of threads that were generated at the CX launch time, so will take a bit of finding. It was encouraging reading after lots of the dismissive reports other "experts" had written and I wish them many happy safe miles.

I was assuming their recent silence was a sign of satisfaction--but you never know. It seems to be the Demo's that are getting munched by the inexperienced jockeys
