Its almost exactly your spec Richard and you can have it for Spring rather than wait months for one to be built.
Have you phoned Henry it before someone else does?

They could cut the front off and sell the backend as a trailer to an existing Plus Six owner ?
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Not as yet Rob, I need to set up a couple of other things first and if it's still there will do as that would be good , otherwise it'll be a bit of a wait as you say.

I would go with your own judgement with the seats. I bought my wife a new Lexus in September and all the reviews I read said the mouse pad type control of the infortainment system was terrible. The reviewers failed to say that the radio/cd/ are easily and best controlled from the armrest and the sat nav is voice controlled and the system is in my opinion far better than her previous BMW system which the reviewers say is the best around. I dont think you will get to know your own opinions of the cars good and not so good points until after youve owned and driven it for a few months.

I agree until you have a go yourself you never know and of course we are all so different in our expectations, I'm really pleased the Lexus turned out well and another example of slack journalism I suppose. When I bought my first Morgan a Plus 8 I bought it without driving it from Richard and Helen Thorne and strapped myself in and drove home to Devon without a second thought, that was 17 years ago now and I've not changed so..... I soon got to know when and where to boot it, I truly believe that we get used to adapting very quickly and of course it's a love affair really and that gets you through most things. The Sport Green will be my third green one

And I thought I was the only one! The first Morgan I bought was my +8. I had never driven or been in a Morgan before. I drove it home from the Factory happy as a lark.  I did have to wait 7 years for it though!

Yes I'd never driven or passengered in a Morgan either I had wanted a Plus 8 for 34 years so just went and did it. I didn't tell the good lady either so that cost me a new shower room, bathroom and kitchen but it was well worthwhile
