Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Plus Four, Supersport & Plus Six (CX & CXV Generation Vehicles) Have you driven your CX today?

Well on the rare occasion that i can bring myself to drive our 4,000mile 22 Plus Four, passenger wing mirror glass blows off and and the drivers side came of in my hand. The irony is that the Plus Four was purchased as "backup" as i had allowed myself to become overly concerned with the negative talk of M3W reliability/things falling off etc. Radiator replaced at 2,000 miles. Three occasions the battery has had to be disconnected to reboot the computer to start the thing. Now the mirrors.

USA buyers beware or should that be Morgan beware as i do not see US consumers putting up with this junk.

Yes!

I thought Osterholz was !!

Lovely colour

I fell off some scaffolding and broke my hip in November, and yesterday, I managed to get into (and out of) my mog

The 'in' and 'out' were separated by 45 miles...

I hope you managed to paint something on the way down so it wasn't a wasted journey

Good you are healed, get a PPL next time it's marginally safer.

At 73 having had a few nasty flying off ladder issues I am forbidden on anything above 12' these days by herself, but she goes out a lot too

Last minute run yesterday to Gower. Hood down, Monty strapped in the back. Went to Oxwich, parked in the hotel but a wedding there and no access for coffee etc. A nice walk on the beach but tide fully out. There were some Chinese people there digging up shellfish. There's a new cafe on the beach car park near the Beachhouse Michelin restaurant but no tables available. Off to Port Eynon instead and a bowl of Cawl in the Ship Inn. The chippy nearby was open but pub chosen instead.

Hawki and I couldn't resist the sun despite an early frost.
We went to HMP Hollesley Bay as they have a great cafe adjoing the RSPB reserve.
It was so great to get the car out again

At last it's warm enough (almost) in the southern parts of the UK for the side panels to come off. Morgan back from winter storage and very happy to be back in its regular habitat, out exploring.

Is “aetnablue” a Morgan-specific color that happens to have the traditional name of the Porsche color from the sixties or is it actually the Porsche color from back then?
No matter, the color fits perfectly to a Morgan.

I haven’t done swatch-matching other than glancing at photos but I believe Morgan’s Etna Blue is the same as the classic Porsche colour. I picked it for the CX Morgan because I thought it reflected the trad/contemporary mix well.
