Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Plus Four, Supersport & Plus Six (CX & CXV Generation Vehicles) New 4cylinder car

What will happen to secondhand Plus4 - Plus8 Roadster prices - i wonder.....as "everyone" it seems trades these models for CX models?

Good point - these days it's just a matter of whether you can afford the monthly payments. The full price is not such an issue really.

Will they trade up to a CX though? I might be out of the loop a little now since selling my car 18 months ago but I suspect that many Morgan Trad owners whilst admiring the car will prefer to stay with a classic Morgan as that’s what attracted them to the marque. Also the cost of change is pretty substantial for many owners.

I suspect that MMC aren’t focussed on sakes to existing owners but want to attract new buyers from the sports car enthusiasts that usually drive the likes of Porsche, Jaguar etc and regularly change their cars for the next “best” thing.

For me, I was attracted by the "classic Morgan" shape and style, and the new cars look pretty much the same as the outgoing "Trad" models.

Looks great as they have largely preserved the lines of the trad - so an improvement on the bloated Plus 6. Love the alloys and great that they have kept wires. Performance puts it in line with the current Roadster but with greater efficiency and fuel consumption ( not to mention less of the St Malvern’s dance from the CX chassis). Not keen on the interior but all in all a great car which should go some way to keeping traditionalists in love with Morgan. But the price - once you’ve given it a reasonable spec it’s going to approach 75k. Well done Morgan - but I must admit that I don’t feel the urge to trade in my Roadster.

Not really sure wether Porsche/Jag etc are second cars Jays ? Those owners will keep their 'normal' Porsches and Jags etc and buy a new plusfour ? We hope ! Its a big jump in cost from a trad plus 4 ?

There is a good example of what will happen to Trad prices already in front of us ?

Has anyone tried to buy a Trad Plus 8 in recent times. The lack of them and a love of the model has supported the resale value quite well I think?

It should be the same for the Trad models in general I trust. There will be a demand for them because of the characteristics and alignment with the traditional Morgan values which should keep the market solid. If Morgan were to open a "recover" service a bit like Ferrari Classic (https://auto.ferrari.com/en_EN/sports-cars-models/past-models/) to offer rebuilds using the old tools and people this would allow it to run for years. It could be a good earner for the factory as well.

I think the same issue exists but is more troubling for the Aero range. If you can buy a CX PF or PS for 70-90k or an out of production Aero it becomes a different discussion. I am going to guess the CX handles better, or will once they have been through a few iterations. So it looks like the value added monster V8 soundtrack through dual sidepipes will be the determining factor...

Agree with this. By using different wing profiles, Morgan have kept the model visual variation we had between the Aero Plus 8 and Roadster.

Give it a couple of years for the dust to settle. By then, the relative secondhand prices should be apparent.

It would be fantastic to spec a new Plus Four, but as others have said, my choices would shove it towards £75k. Four years ago, my Plus 4 was getting close to £50k, but a leap of £25k is a big one. So part exing either of mine will take thirty odd grand, unless I sold them both, and then how do I pass the time?

I just did a basic spec from the website configurator and it came out at just a whisker below £70,000k. Of course there are other options that won't be listed on the configurator such as sports exhaust, luggage racks, etc that many of us consider essential - not to mention road tax and delivery. That will easily push the price towards 75k. Nice car, though.

Can you actually buy the new plusfour for the retail price and drive it ?
