Thanks Will.
A comprehensive and interesting contribution to this discussion but I note in the "Ped" Video he describes the "Quid pro quo" with the manufacturer (from 6.28 on). "You give me something and I will create a video for you which is good for you and me” (6.56)
so I would imagine he can never afford to be too negative.
To me, that’s the way his Morgan review came across BUT it may well be because the car really is that good...
Your other two videos also provided interesting viewing so thank you for an informative post

An interesting review overall. I have one or two quibbles, particularly his confusion over dimensions: he suggests that the Plus Six is "16 or 18mm" wider than the Plus Four. The difference is in fact 106mm. Easy mistake to make when blathering!
I have not driven either of these but I am almost certain that the Plus Four would be my choice. But I am still happy with my 2015 4/4, which this chap might consider underpowered and outdated.

...... Yes, I thought it was more than a few mm.... but I liked his videos. Very well shot and edited, and good sound recording too. It really comes across how Morgans make people smile!

I am not really impartial as there is one in my garage  "Just asking for a friend" -- there's a Plus Six currently for sale by MMC for a cool £79K www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/11393825 with dark brown Rockingham leather. The headrests look as if they are stuffed with a bag of frozen peas. Is that normal ? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/03/11/Plus-Six-headrest.jpg)

How else do you think they keep their cool  I have noticed quite a few CX models with pretty rough head restraints, I assumed they had a work experience in for the week..

I've only just started to dip my toes into leatherwork but from what I can see, it's not something that can be fixed and wouldn't call that normal or acceptable. Either the alignment of the two hides is off or the foam backing wasn't trimmed correctly and is bunching up after its been sewn together.
Sadly, most headrests on the CX seem to suffer from this, that and the seat backs.
