This editing is damn better than TV
Couldn't agree more.
He needs to learn to talk. He keeps himing and haing. Just learn your script bud and use your words.
Colin Johnston how to spell??
broadcast television is obsolete and biased. cancel your TV license asap
@@mrberg9569 what? That's not really a sentence bud. Maybe don't try to be a smart cvnt pointing out others typos when you can't even put a coherent sentence together, eh?
I used to have a mate who was chief engineer for Morgan though because of his girth, didn't travel in the cars so perhaps this new model might accommodate him!! Oh, and he also had a small 2 seater plane which he could not fit-in either! God Bless you Maurice, the man who liked oysters so much he would have a plate of them on the dock at the ferry terminal whilst awaiting loading Morgans on the way back from testing at Le Man - then he would move on to the next oyster stall to try their offerings and so on until all oyster vendors had gratefully received his approbation! 6 plates I believe was his record.
I loved this story as much as this morgan (a lot)
Have a good day mate :)
Fat bastard then ?
I can't imagine having a member so girthy I can't drive a car. That's the girth you're talking about right?
You guys should do a group test, Z4 vs Supra vs Plus Six. Same engine very different cars.
You can’t compare the two, and if you tried to in a conventional way it wouldn’t tell the full story. How can you quantify how a car makes you feel? How can you quantify emotion and passion and heritage and character and that incredible feeling inside that tells you you’re driving something really special?
Computers and robots can’t make cars like this, yes Morgans have bits that don’t fit perfectly and sometimes they’re frustrating but my god you love them. You might really like your BMW, Merc or Audi but you’ll never love it, not in the way you will love your Morgan.
Obzi exactly why they should do a group test...
In the British rain.
jd or the California rain.
@@IanObzi Of course you can compare them. You can compare anything you like. You can compare a banana to a container ship if you want to.
Believe it or not, my dream convertible has always been a Morgan. I just love the marriage of modern tech with nostalgic design! Perrrrfect!!!!
It's my mum's as well. ever since she went to the Factory years ago.
Absolutely beautiful - I’ve always been a huge Moggy fan and it’s so good to see Morgan moving forward but staying traditional! - I can’t wait to see your review of this Henry! - Stunningly produced video as ever!
Mental note... 3d scan BMW shift bits and make out of wood...
Sell to Morgan owners..
Profit.
Chicks...
I was thinking that too
Because Morgans sell in the tens and tens of... tens?
Or design a kit that eliminates the unsightly BMW part all together
or if you've got no money left after buying your morgan, put a tea cosey over it :D
@Retro Collected then u don't understand Morgan
So proud that we still have Morgan
Who's "we"? Morgan has just been sold to an Italian company
After all these years, Morgan has held to tradition by building the cockpit with wood. Well done!
I fucking love this car. Stunning inside and out. There's nothing about this that doesn't inspire joy
Seriously? A Morgan with an auto transmission - what on earth is the world coming to???
There is paddle shifter also
Woman will get the vote next
@Ford Prefect Didn't they used to use Fiat Twin cam motors once upon a time?
Most people who buy cars like this are much older.
@Ford Prefect Well at least its not a british "engine". May actually run.
Love it Harry. Some of the best content from you guys in recent weeks. Would definitely patreon for this!
massive props to whoever edited this, good god its all so smooth and professional
What a lovely object. I hope it drives as well as it looks. Morgan seem to be quietly on a bit of a roll at the moment. Henry’s presenting and delivery is brilliant and the cinematography fantastic as always with Carfection vids 👌
No other magazine style channel's can touch the quality of your vids
I really like it because it’s a bit like a restomod, but it’s way and way cheaper then any other restomod car on the market today and it’s a Morgan so that gives it something special!
Being as tall as you Mr Catchpole, this is the first time i can dream of having a confortable Morgan, and this idea is more than tempting. Thank you Morgan!!!
that haircut and the car design go hand in hand.
I've never wanted a Morgan more, right now.
Michael Jandavs There is a cure for your problem , BUY ONE .
Yeah. Me too! And yet I still don't want one very much. XD
I have NEVER wanted a Morgan LESS than after watching this.
Rebecca Donaldson Thanks for sharing that. Now piss off.
Rebecca Donaldson I agree Rebecca don’t bring yourself down to Michaels level by replying to him he’s probably a 12-year-old boy
Want one... and a very pleasing presentation style from Henry...
that shifter is a massive disappointment
Yep. They could have used the shifter from the 2018 Aero
So is the orange peel on the paint finish.
Absolutely. It doesn't fit at all
but is it a dealbreaker?
So lazy it’s literally been pulled from the BMW without even bothering to change the detailing
very nice video. Thank you!
Wow what a spectacular sounding package. They have never appealed to me that much until now.
Good for Morgan. Can't wait to see the driving video.
Lotus knowledge in the chassis, ash frame and superior power to weight ratio. What is there not to like?
@anglovirtual Morgan has plenty of carpenters to fix it I'm sure. Not a problem.
I'm sure this polished out.ua-cam.com/video/lLBuedP9rQA/v-deo.html
@@MadDocLive and dealers all over EU
Catchpole's shoes
The gearbox
What a smooth editing!
I wish they never stopped production of some cars like Mercedes w124 & w126 and BMW e39 & e46
I really enjoy Harry's walkaround videos.
Perfect for summer drives in the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Georgia. Or down by the coast in Savannah. Can't help it, Georgia boy.
Superb as always.
Wow! This is an exciting new car!
Love the woodwork!
I have a 1979 4/4, about as trad as it gets. Personally, I love this and can't wait to see a 4/4 with this chassis. It's a great step forward. the only negative is the thick tops to the front wings. Can't wait to drive one!
Beautiful car - I've never got used to that Aero look, and it will no doubt uphold Morgan's legendary reputation for performance and handling. As a lifelong Morgan enthusiast I'm resigned to the fact that flat rads went out in the 1950's, but I can't help thinking that the demise of sliding pillar front suspension is taking things a little too far. Unfortunately prices have now risen to such a level that a new car is the preserve of the very wealthy, so I'll just have to live on the memories of the three I have been fortunate enough to own.
What an improved Morgan. Awaiting Your driving impressions.
Sick
Gorgeous, also love the extra room and tilt wheel - hopefully a manual comes.
“Morgan doesn’t have a styling department. They just have a photocopier.”
- Jeremy Clarkson
Well, yes
Not a surpise Morgan supplier is BMW/Mini so they would have part form them. So they would carry over the same look.
Jeremy just being funny as usual. I don't really care, as all Morgans are beautiful.
They don't need a styling department - it wouldn't be able to improve the beauty of this vehicle.
Problem???
Well done Morgan, that's pretty special😊😊😊
In my youthful years, the early 70's, I bought a Morgan +4 in British Racing green. I was in love with the styling, the leather belts over the hood, the tires (Dunlap 'Doggie Bones they were called), the spoke wheels...all of it. It came with an Austen-Healey engine. At the time it cost $2,000 which was expensive back then, but not exorbitant. In any case, I also loved the quirkiness of it. The fact that although it had an electric starter motor, the car could be started with a hand crank which was just under the hood. I also loved that in the owner's manual said, "Periodically check and tighten all bolts." Given that the chassis was made of wood, that seemed to make sense. :) Sadly, mechanically, it was one issue after the other. I had to order a new tonneau cover from the factory in Malvern-Links, in England while I lived in California.
The major problem though was over heating. I took it to several mechanics and none could find the problem, despite me buying a new radiator and most every other cooling part.
In the end, after a couple of years, I gave up and sold it to a Morgan dealer in San Francisco, (even though it was no longer running), for $1,600, which at the time, I considered a great deal. Of course now I wish I'd hung on to it as I sill love the styling, not to mention it's vast increase in value. :-)
Love the wheels!
Only change I would ask for is the removal of the 2 dials in front of the driver and the fitting of a larger screen, an 8 inch would probably suffice, so I can see navigation maps without having to use a magnifying glass.
Absolutely gorgeous car!
An exemplary gentleman's carriage. Bravo.
Stunning
OMG.. finally a Morgan I want so bad!!
This is pretty awesome. Also, what is that background track?
Well done, Morgan.
great video, who does the editing ?
Beautiful
if I had the means this will absolutely be my weekend warrior, meantime I settle for my current Z4.
Rather buy this than the new “Supra”
Oh, come on.
It costs 78k £
Ok go buy man , ugly grandpa of supra
milan philip maybe a ugly grandpa car to you, but a timeless designed car to me:)
@@OutdoorPOV whats the use with that b58 i6 engine it has no aftermarket support for that car
Love it!
Lotus Evora steering wheel?
It’s a blend between a Morgan, BMW, and Lotus (you know that suspension tuning will be bang on! )
Beautiful car. I love it.
Still a classic British dream car. From my point of view the best in the world. Would have to win the lotto for one of these. Still one can appreciate the hand built quality.
Electrify the luxury vintage cars to superpower high speed stratus
I love Morgan, but I hope there is a manual option. Thanks.
I would think that Morgan would offer one if there was enough customer demand.
Gorgeous.
We need a road test video ASAP!
I really want one of these.....please bring to America. I may have to move to England just to buy one of these!
Morgan it's not just car it's beauty and the beast.
*Hi Henry, Did you Catch the Pole yet? I bet you DID, with those sideburns!*
I am curious to know, how do you go about checking the oil level in this car? The B58 doesn't use a dipstick. It uses electronic sensors which relay the info to the BMW iDrive system. In the case of the Supra, it also uses BMWs iDrive. But this car has a basic cabin. The only thing I can think of is if they do what Rolls-Royce did in the 90s and use a button that you press to check the oil level and it uses the fuel gauge to tell you.
Perfecto cars.
Just simple beautiful
i want this. Now.
That, truly, is a thing of great beauty...........
Love!
What I have a hard time understanding is the Morgan 3 wheeler powered by the S&S V-Twin is approved for sale in the US but the Speed8 and Speed6 are not. The same goes for the Caterham. The exception to this is they are ordered as a kit car, which is quite a puzzling to me.
OMG extremely beautiful and, typically, delicate. LOVE It ;)
so even Morgan hasn't developed a manual gearbox adaptation for this drivetrain yet, and I guess the electric steering from the BMW is carried over, couldn't imagine how's that gonna feel honestly.
Jay Wong well the M240 still has a manual I believe so it’s really up to Morgan just to put it in I would imagine. And are you sure this has BMW EPAS and not a more traditional steering setup?
not like a Morgan
@Peder Hansen Speaking as someone who has depowered their Miata steering rack I tend to agree, but remember the age of the typical Morgan client. I bet power assist is very welcome to them.
Peder Hansen for the Miata, you can go two routes. Mine is just plugging up the power steering lines, but people have also gone a step further and disassembled the rack and filled it with grease to replace the fluid. I love the feel currently so I haven’t bothered taking it the next step. For newer cars it’s not so simple though. Electric only racks might be able to simply be “unplugged” but that might freak out the electronics. Electro-hydraulic units could be just as complex but also have issues with plugging of power steering lines etc.
You have to factor in that a company as small as Morgan doesn’t have nearly the income to develop a manual adapter for a modern engine.
Good to see moving with the times. It was this or end like tvr.
Got one question for Morgan, why are your timber parts of the car not Pressure Treated. The timber would then outlast the car. Worth bearing in mind when you consider price of car and it would add value not just to the secondhand market but also to your reputation. Just a thought but worth a mention.
Gorgeous
I love the high quality content you guys create! I’m trying to produce the same great videography on different subjects
Morgan's wheels are best ever! Sporty but classy. Perfectly fitting for a Moggy.
Especially the 'steelies' !
Hi, do the front suspension are the same, old as usely on the others classic Morgan ?
Nice. Can you get it with a manual gearbox?
i like this idea of old melds with new to form a completely new beast
A true sports car.
Do they offer these with no motor or trans? Really want to see one of these with an aluminum small block v8 and 5speed manual trans.
Magnifique😍
Perfect and beautiful machine, only needs a nicer steering wheel!
I do not see a front bumper (I expect there isn't a back one either); how would you sell it in the US?
What happened to that Morgan EV with a manual transmission they were talking about a few years ago?
Ryukachoo A full electric car with a manual transmission?
Yeah, how would that even function?
Not difficult, the biggest problem is taking the torque without shredding
A lot of classic car EV conversions keep the stick shift, it works similar but you just don't need to use the clutch in first, and you can leave it in higher gears all the time if you want
Ryukachoo There is really no need for a gear box in an electric vehicle as the motors would send immediate maximum torque to the wheels for optimum acceleration. But it probably could be done for the driving experience, it’s just quite pointless in terms of performance. Yeah, you’d theoretically get more torque at higher speeds, but an electric motor already has a _lot_ of torque and a subtle drop off (at a much higher speed than you’d expect) when compared to a combustion engine and given that is sent instantly to the wheels, there’s really no point if you’re looking to better performance...
Please, please tell me there will be a manual transmission option!?
I would have this over the Z4/Supra without hesitation. Then I would take it over to Pure Turbo's in Belgium and add hybrid turbos remap etc for 500+ HP. Be incredible wth that low weight.
Exactly. This is a Morgan that can be tuned (Properly) by AC, Alpina, Pure Turbo's.....The list goes on & on.
Yep, and the B58 is built for power and can take it. This is going to be one special car. Can’t wait to see the first drives!
They aren't competing numb nuts. This is a low production hand built car and the z4 and supra are mas produced. This will be far more expensive. Just because something shares an engine doesn't mean it's the same car and you can chose one or the other. The plus 4 shares an engine with a ford Mondeo...
@@greabo9544 stop talking shite. Some morgans are extremely fast. Only the plus 4 is the traditional sports car that isn't meant to be overly fast. Get some knowledge bud.
can I have one without the wood and 2000's type TFT's and outdated interior. dash and /steering wheel from the mini ??
The best thing is that it has an automatic gearbox which enables some of us to be able to drive when otherwise it would not be so
I'd buy one in an instant - if I could afford one of course. But the one thing I'd change are the LED daylights. They should have been round like the housing. It's a small detail but I do not like them.
Henry Catchpole - not related to Eric Catchpole of Lovejoy fame? Very good presentation of the ultimate sportscar.
... does it still have a coal cart rear suspension?
I think I’ll keep my 7.
that, that beat was taken from a suicideboys song and thats amazing
Is that chassis any useful?
Never would i think a supra and a morgan would share the same engine! Looks quality though
Russell - Not the first time. They used the 4.4L V8 from the 745i before for that Morgan Aero.
@@FlyingTigersKMT I said a Morgan and a supra. I am well aware morgan have used other engines - in fact all their engines are from other companies.
@@xPUR3xSHOTZx- and... this adds to the internet... how? Oh, btw, I am aware Morgan uses other company's engines. Now aren't we all content?
@@FlyingTigersKMT mate wtf are you on about? Clearly this 'adds to the internet' as 14 other people liked my comment - whilst no one likes yours
@@xPUR3xSHOTZx - 14 whole likes... you've won the internet. Want a cookie?
Anyone having the issue where these videos are only in 1080, but they say they're 4k?
automatic box?
no manual?
I WANT ONE!!!
Can you get it with three pedals?
Love the wood frame. Now...how about a real wood steering wheel?
