PS What’s happening in South Korea. Daughter recently got back from the country. Glad she is home.

Rear- and frontwheels have different widths on the PliusSix!

And my rear spare with rack, although I like the clean look of the red Plus4 too! We just have to much luggage to take with us! hide

Different widths should not prevent you from having a spare wheel. My trad Plus 4 has a 165R15 spare wheel (to save weight). It has the almost the same circumference as 195/65R15 or 205/60R15 wheels.

All the same models but some have that certain something. The clean look is beautiful. In the photo it's a wonderful red. I had two Morgan without a spare wheel, but in red it just looks great.

Visited my mother today, our family station wagon was losing coolant somewhere, so I drove the 4/4 (I was looking forward to it). But it was one of the worst journeys I've ever had. 140 km in dreary drizzle with strong gusts of wind of up to 100 km/h, so very careful and slow because the 4/4 is a flyweight. I can't always just talk about the chocolate rides in this thread.

Heinz and Ruut,

That's very kind of you. I do prefer the cleaner lines, , This one has attracted more compliments than my other Morgans, When I stopped for petrol the other week I pulled up behind a family of Americans on holiday and I let the sons have a sit in etc. No-one seemed to mind even though we blocked a couple of the pumps for about 20 minutes.

Only a short drive in the 4/4, just to get the temperatures up.
A bit chilly, but always enjoyable.

Rich. 👍
Thanks.
I even took time to replace the piece of string, I use to hold the bonnet open!
The new piece is very classy!!
