But getting back to the Morgan theme, I'm still wondering about a 4/4 with an uprated engine. There are some nice Cosworth Duratecs at Burton Power. But a 3.7V6 in a Plus 4 body would also make a great car. clip
Having recently driven 4/4, +4 and Roadster all on the same day I didn't take long to come to the conclusion that 6 cylinders ticked the most boxes and the wider track was never an issue But what do you do if you want more power than a Plus 4 and don't want to pay the higher tax and insurance charges of a 3.7 litre? Now that the 3 litre V6 is out of production morgan really lacks something between the current 2 litre 4 and the de-tuned Mustang 3.7 litre. Don' say the Plus 4 SS because that is not available LHD and in any case the run is just about finished. in the UK 3 litre Roadster only costs approx £125 more in road tax (from 2nd yr of registration) than 4/4 Sport and my insurance went up by only £45

We saw two in build when at the factory recently, chassis (tub) is similar in design to the Aero; i.e a riveted and bonded construction.
We got hurried along when we tried to get a better look.

I love that car.....I cut my Mog teeth on a brace of Plus Eights at an early age so this really appeals to me.
Agree though its desperately crying out for a spare.
