For now and the foreseeable, I shall be holding on to the devil I know. Love it!
Absolutely, and I think this might be a bit of a headache for MMC. You buy a car, fall in love with it, spend years fixing, tweaking and improving it so that it's exactly the way you want. So why buy another and risk all the heartache of spending a cartload of money to find out it's got some considerable loopholes? How can they persuade people to change to a new model if they've already got one they are happy with? It's not like 99% of the population would recognise them as being different anyway. Not only do I know my car inside out, it's also old enough not to be burdened with any complex technology or restrictive emissions constraints. I can furtle with it to my heart's content, it goes fast enough, handles well enough, stops well enough, and is dry enough in the rain. You'll not find me changing it, even if I could afford to.

Lot 366 shows a red one at a “good value” price of £69k but not only does it have the older type hood, they have shut the door on the flaps!
Aargh!

I haven't put a comment on here for a few years. I'm more of a watcher now....!
I've had 8 trad Morgans over the years, I've been without for a few years though going back to 911's.
I sold my last 3.2 carrera a few months back with the intention of buying a +8 (Rover).
I've looked at/driven quite a few +8's but not found one that was worth buying.
I was offered a test drive in a new Plus Four by a dealer last week.....................
Amazing!
Like no Morgan I've ever driven, and I've driven examples of everything.
Incredible
I'm sure it will leak and have no end of 'issues'.
The sensible choice would be a Boxster or a 911 or one of many other sports cars, but none would be as much fun.
The storage is poor, but I've no doubt that someone will be designing a solution right now.
It's not a trad, at all, in any way. It's very modern, although it obviously has to look familiar to retain the 'normal' Morgan client base.
It is a Morgan though, undoubtably, undeniably.
Way too expensive, but probably worth every penny......
All the options are expensive.
The new seats are an absolute must, the first generation seats are rubbish in comparison. The new seats are not only the most comfortable seats in any Morgan, they're most comfortable seats I've ever sat in, in any car..!
You definitely couldn't tinker with it in any way, it's very high tech!
I guess the factory/Italians want to appeal to a whole new market.
I didn't want to give it back, it really felt so good that you could just set off for the south of France without any worries at all.
I want one. More than any other car on the market right now.
I'd advise everybody to test drive one, with an open mind, judge it against anything you've ever driven.
Can I afford it........probably......maybe.
Can I justify it........probably not....
But.......
Just my personal opinion.
Back to watching again now....

No thanks, I never really 'got' the Moke, a bed frame & tent with a Mini engine, I'll stick with my proper Mk1 Cooper
