Not my CX - But one I had the pleasure of driving last week for 4 days on a "Morgan Experience - Wales & Cotswolds Tour"
We travelled down to Malvern on Sunday 18th June, before picking up the CX Plus Four on Monday 19th. Spent Sunday night at Cottage in the Wood Hotel - we were not disappointed with our short stay.

Had a "VIP" tour of the Morgan factory at 2pm On Monday 19th (Just me, wife and tour guide). Shook hands and spent 5 minutes chatting to Massimo and Thomas (sales director), who we ran across by the paint shop.
In the historic section I got lucky and was allowed to sit behind the wheel of an Aero (apologies for the bad photo,

took it)

We then did the handover of our hire Plus 4. Not too different to my trad Morgan (2019) apart from
1) Start button
2) Handbrake position
3) Air-con
4) Sports+ button
5) 6 Speed gearbox

Although the drive was remarkably different - The independent suspension, compared to my leaf springs..... and to be perfectly honest - I missed that. The CX Morgan really sticks on the rails and is a very comfortable ride.
I also missed the rumble and run-on of my sports exhaust.
