I was all set for a Sport Green one I've got to say some of the recent cars on TM that have a very similar metallic blue are winning me over maybe. Early next year we plan to change when hopefully it's all a bit healthier out there.

No not yet Hawki, it can wait a while for above reasons.
I bought my first Plus 8 having never driven one, I just knew it was what I wanted after all I had lusted 40 years for one, I was glad it worked out though.

Enough of you guys with Morgan experience have reported back with such positive reports I just know this car is right for us but will take a trip to Henry's to finalise things come the spring or earlier if things quieten down, personally I think Doris will call a lockdown within the week if he has any sense at all.

get dealer to ask factory to do what you want .. if they won’t or don’t get the right answer, email the CEO, Steve Morris.

Yes I've got that one in the essential options with the alloys love
In my wildest dreams I couldn't have guessed I'd be buying an auto Morgan, we have to change with the times or get left behind smile
My other favourite Morgan had an auto box too Jane Morgan's Plus 8 DHC wink



Dada - I prefer the traditional body shape of the Plus Four, but I take your point

Anybody experience with this methode? The funny thing was that I did a test drive with a regular plus four and I said to the product specialist that I didn't like the seats. He took me to another demo car and he asked me to take place in that car and the seats were a lot better. I said that I wanted those seats and he said that he was going to ask that but he couldn't guarantee because the factory claims that both cars had the same seats but you could clearly see that the headrest was 20mm thicker. So apperently there are 2 types of seats but Morgan doesn't confirm that :-).

If somebody has his email address I want to try if the factory will fit LSD and grabbier seats :-).

You can choose these styles of seat stitch with the horizontal being standard no cost option. Not sure if any improve comfort.

Zero chance I would say of getting factory fit LSD on new car if its homologated without.

The only clue that the seats may vary in adjustment to me is that I've noticed on some of the cars for sale that there is what appears to be a small black handpump in front of the drivers seat. I haven't discovered anything written about though.


Or maybe it's just the seat adjuster but it doesn't seem to be on all the pictures ? Maybe you get a lumbar adjust on the quilted and box patterned "extra" seats ?

Rich - Thats the inflatable lumbar support I think
Its like the "bladder" used to pump the cuff when you have your blood pressure taken
There is a release valve also - to remove air
