Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Plus Four, Supersport & Plus Six (CX & CXV Generation Vehicles) 3 Write-Offs?

Nobody has been allowed anywhere really for a couple of months Murray which is when the garage queens come out to play so maybe not representative as yet, wait till they get unleashed and I for one am hoping they will take the new customers out on a familiarisation drive as a minimum as it's been bad PR thus far.

I think a lot of the development was done either by BMW or by Morgan under their watchful eye - at least as far as I heard, the plus six and plus four were at BMW’s test location for over 6 months!!

No greater than the Aero platform, I'd have thought....
I pay £560 for the Plus 8, based on an agreed value of £69,000 and 5000 miles a year, with me only as the driver.
A new Plus Six will be more, because of the value, a new Plus Four a bit less.

...unless you happen to be on your 2nd Plus Six - in which case they might want a little more next renewal

That's logical Peter - but since when did insurance underwriters put logic above claims data as it emerges?

I suspect the new CX chassis cars will have a worse initial claims history than the Aero-chassis cars due to the subtly different ownership demographic - the "I always promised myself one of these" buyers who find they are unwittingly sitting in the most powerful thing they've ever driven, compared with (and I generalise) an Aero owner who probably has more powerful toys in the stable, or has done in the past.

£280 for my 3l Roadster with agreed value, legal cover & Morgan rescue.

Hi the issue with pre 22 plus six’s (and still is an issue) is that if you accelerate very hard from a standing start you wheel spin the open differential at the back. The drive train just soo s and as a consequence the car will violently fish tail - which if wet and or on a single carriage way will result in an accident.
There are no driver aids other than ABS and the rapid acceleration (and some turbo lag in low gears) catches average to poor drivers (like me) out.
I was taught on the experience day to always try to drive in sport, don’t accelerate too hard with any steering lock on and be extra careful in the rain.

After six months and a couple of sideways experiences I think I’m getting the hang of it 😊

After selling the Plus 8 I intended to buy a 2022 Plus 4.
But I couldn't afford one, seriously.
So I bought a Porsche 917 Boxster S instead, £51,000 with 11,400 miles on the clock.

350 bhp, 310 ft lbs from 1900 rpm, no discernable turbo lag, open differential but very clever stability software.
And the best "Auto" gearbox on the planet, PDK.

Actually it isn't an auto box, it is a pair of pre-selector manual boxes, each with its own oil bath multi plate clutch (think motorbike) and incredibly clever software, a 0,2 second (200 milliseconds) gear change is possible...as fast as the very best racing gear change.

BUT...if I find myself with £100k I don't want I'd buy a new 2024 Plus 4... There is "something" about a Morgan...it makes no sense, I know.
