Surprisingly there's only about 20 kgs difference between the weight of a duratec and sigma engine, and the spare wheel and rear rack (about 20 to 25k ) would add considerably to the 4/4 rear weight bias, so not quite as pure.
Without question my 2012 Plus 4 sport was the best handling trad, I have enjoyed, so I like the sport versions as long as they haven't added lots of weight to dilute the purity. Nice cars.
As I pointed out obviously the extras like spare wheel and travesty of a rear rack side pockets and easy up need removing to return this car to true Sport status - it is now a lardy standard 4/4 not an 800Kg lithe beast.
Unless you have driven a 4/4 Sport you won’t get it, they are special and Morgan got back into focus in 2009 as they realised they had lost their way with heated seats, easy up roofs and spare wheels et al.
