Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Sport +4 boot space

Does anyone know if the Sports versions of the plus 4 from around 2010 to 2015, including the Super Sports have more boot space than Plus4 from the similar era that have the spare wheel?

If so how much more space do you get and how easy is it to access?

Many thanks.

PS. I know this is a very nerdy question, but I’m 5’11, my wife’s 5’5” (maybe relevant for seat position, and we have a border terrier we want to bring along, but not in the footwell.

I'm just over 6' and heavy build and fit into the Plus 4 sport ok. I would also look at the hood arrangement whether its a traditional hood or easy up hood, as the easy up hood takes up more of the rear parcel shelf, having said that you have to find somewhere to store the trad. hood itself. Whilst the easy up hood arrangement encloses the 3 sides of the rear parcel shelf forming more of a higher barrier to the rear, the trad hood arrangement leaves the rear of the car much more open, lower and more exposed

My experience of touring with both hood types is that the easy up provides more space, by sitting on top of the body tub, it adds a couple of inches. The studded hud takes up a lot of space when folded, and there is less height behind the seats. Either way, if you don't cover what's behind the seats with a quarter tonneau cover, it will blow about. Those of us of shorter stature can gain a few inches behind the seats, and that is very useful, because it's a tall space. We keep the storm cover in its bag in the passenger footwell, because that alone is bulky, and often stored wet. But being in the footwell makes it very handy.

I wonder if sewin is referring to tubeless wire rims. These require a carefully applied thick layer of special sealant to cover the inner side of spoke nuts. I guess the foam may react with it and would certainly leave a mess.

Personally I stay well away from the product which just hides punctures.
