Looks a lot like the factory press car to me, check out the rear registration plate.

Perhaps it's just me but I hate seeing any Morgan munched in this way - it's painful.

A very sad end and a sign of the times were these modern versions cannot be ecconomically rebuilt. I remember the days when morgans were never scrapped. They could always be repaired.

According to information from a number of sources, more than 20 of the PlusSix models have been written off.
In almost every case it is unexpected power delivery caused by an insensitive right foot amplifying miscommunication between engine and gearbox management systems that causes a sudden exchange of ends and an unexpected journey.
In this case it looks as if a lamp post or similar hit the car.
The car has to be driven with great care and sensitivity, as does every super-car. They can all bite the inexperienced.
And yes, the dash is mdf, either painted body colour or veneered.

Blimey that is a lot, I wouldn't fancy phoning up for an insurance quote for one of those with it's reputation preceding it.
On the cynical/good news side it keeps the MMC busy building.

Really sad to see another wrecked Plus Six. I can only imagine that level of power in a Morgan. It is a problem that I don’t encounter with my 4/4.  What I find more worrying is the inability for them to be economically repaired, once the chassis tub is damaged. However, I imagine that a number of modern cars would have a similar issue?

I expect insurance premiums to be quite adversely affected by this, the Plus6 is becoming very expensive for insurers with all the relatively minor bumps becoming full write offs leading to £80k +++ payouts each time, & the list of preferred Mog insurers is pretty small
Caveat emptor !
