I know there are some EV haters here in the Comments, but I can’t help but wonder how marvelous an electric Plus Four might be. Anyway, Morgan deserves our gratitude for their amazing ability to so skillfully blend the past with our modern reality. Thank you.

  • @spotontheroad1

    I like the look but I think all the lights in one small unit is (in my opinion) a mistake. They might look clean (which they do) and are legal but it is much harder for other road users to see indicators (particularly rear) when combined with other lights and are not really such a good idea. Apart from that, hats off!

    I've always loved Morgan and even went on my own little pilgrimage to Great Malvern before they attached a hefty price to a visit.
    I appreciate how they develop their cars to comply with safety and environmental standards and for more driveability.
    But why don't they fix bumpers any more? I don't want rubber monstrosities - but at least something to prevent damage when parking...

    • @sfopaladin2661
      @sfopaladin2661 6 місяців тому +1

      Was thinking the same thing Sir. I believe in some countries bumpers are required front and back. Also need a third brake light above on the boot behind the heads of driver/passenger.
      Also here in Canada the front lights need to be on when the engine is running. I hate to be picky but these aren't the 60's anymore. But a beautiful car to be riding around winding roads on a Sunday.

    Great video, very well explained and usefully clear. Not really sure about the "bumperless" look, seems to make the car look unfinished. Glad the 2 litre four pot is still used. Amazed at how many of the odds and ends, lights, mirrors etc are specially made for Morgan, which is great, but why dont other prestige makers do this? There is nothing worse than Austin Allegro door catches on your Lotus, sort of thing... This sort of carry on is still popular, and I dont know why.

      The folding top can be seen in the video. I doubt if it's power operated. The driver would likely just reach back and pull it up and forward into place and then clamp it to the windshield. The attachment hardware for the side curtains are on the doors and can be seen at various points in the video. If you aren't familiar with side curtains, Google something like "Triumph TR3 with side curtains". Side curtains usually have sliding windows. I'm wondering if there is room in the boot to store the side curtains as well as enough luggage for a weekend trip.

    Yes like one of these new Morgan Plus Four's with Automatic 8-speed gearbox, though in Red over Blue, Royal Artillery Colours too.
    Also as a 4-seater lengthened version (not with rear seats though, but a padded dog's bench fitted instead, for a pair of Flat Coated Retrievers), with internal roll-over safety cage, as well as with both a removeable custom hard-top no soft-top option too.
    With the hard-top having two overhead drivers and front passengers fixed tinted skylight, also the hardtop has a built in aft solar panel and Satellite phone and modem transmitter / receiver aerial too.
    Equally the hard-top has built-in roof-rails, with mounted on these six (front looking, left and right side looking, rear looking) 360-degree driving / parking and security digital visible light and infra-red camera system, supported by visible light and infra-red LED lights too, with display screens on the drivers and front passenger sun-visors too, also drivers display being NGV friendly too
    Along with a doughnut circle Shaped LPG fuel tank, in the rear spare wheel aperture, but with a spare wheel on top and behidden it, with a luggage rack over both too.
    However, we would like a front and rear chrome front and rear quarter or full width bumpers, with the front ones having a bove car badge rail, to mount car badges and extra pair of driving sport flood LED lights and a pair of front LED fog lights too, with a pair of rear LED fog lights mounted on the rear bumper badge rails too.

      It's a hand built car and demand has grown more than Morgan's manufacturing capacity. Since they are a typical third or forth car, their prospective buyers are not a very price sensitive crowd, so why shouldn't Morgan charge what they can get away with?
      Another aspect is that Morgans hold their value very well, reach a pretty high plateau after a while and will ultimately appreciate again.
