  • Thanks to Edgewood Automotive in Cork for hooking me up with the Morgan for the morning. A great car with some quirky stuff built in which is what we need these days.

    I love Morgan. It doesn't try to be anything other than an event to be in. Woefully impractical yet perfect. Nothing like it..

    Morgans are a bit like Marmite, I love them too. Nothing gets you closer to the action. One of the few new cars that don't massively depreciate the moment the wheels hit the road.

    That weather is perfect as far as Im concerned. Beautiful English weather, sitting in a cozy car, driving down beautiful country roads, going through areas with lovely names, like Cork or Cornwall ! You got a good feel for what it's like to really drive .

    Morgan - what England does best. Living in the past. I've always wanted one of these but never managed to find one that didn't leak or wasn't too expensive. I find, though, that old MX5s and Z4s are good alternatives.

    Actually great to see a roof up review. It isn't always gonna be sunny so to see you with the roof up and still enjoying it speaks volumes.

    Wow Bob, that was totally unexpected. Magnificent car. Totally out of my league unfortunately but great to watch. As always your reviews are top notch.
    Thank you for showing us a bit of modern nostalgia.
    Greetings from Cumbria in the U.K.
    stay safe and well Bob.

    If there is one thing that makes your videos enjoyable, it is the excitement you get from a good vehicle. The Morgan is a desirable vehicle, it is also a lot of money, pity. Thanks for the video Bob.

    No understand you, this is a Morgan like a Morgan always was. The motor is good, the way it behaves better, but it is a Morgan. I love Morgan. I see lots off vlogs where there was enough space. All fits in a Morgan in a normal way. Offcourse you have the automatic version, I would always go for the hand version. Nothing to do with your bad vlog, the steeringwheel looks to modern to me, no like the front lites with that horizontal stripes. Perhaps you can change that when you order this wonderful car. I like the color. The Morgan Plus 4 is my dream car!

    These modern Morgans may well be two-seaters but they're huge in comparison with my 1932 Morris Minor two-seater 😂
    BTW, I live about 10 miles away from the Morgan factory in Malvern.

    There is a mistake in the title of this video. This is not a Morgan Plus 4 but a Morgan Plus Four. I know it looks like I'm nitpicking but it's the way the company marks the difference between the old model and the new one (with the new bmw engine and modern bonded aluminium frame).

  • @pierre1050

    Is there any space for small pieces of luggage for a short weekend trip. Only very small soft luggage behind the seats - is there even any room there at all?

      There is an optional luggage rack that goes on the back. Must people strap an old school travel trunk to it
