- He asked the question and you guys answered - here is Richard Hammond's brand new car! His Morgan Plus 6 looks bloody awesome, much in part to you guys voting on the colour of the interior. Let Hammond take you for a drive in his brand new motor.
Try creating your own Morgan and post it in the comments on Richard article on DriveTribe so he can tell you what he thinks.

James: Buys a toyota and a tesla

Next week Jeremy buys a tractor for his farm
I’m on with Hammond
Sorry May that’s gay
OMG HOLD THE FRONT PAGE, PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT NEEDS AND WANTS!!!
SHOCKER!!!!!!
@@jonfarah8529 James made a casual move! He should've gotten a Dacia Sandero and a Fiat Punto. He should compare two compact cars!

"I love electric cars."
*"I CRASHED ONE"*
Best part of the video, so casual. Proudly voted for red and i think i was right
Bugatti thinks so too
I voted for blue but now that I've seen red I like it better
Red and gunmetal grey is a classic combination. I've seen a few Jaguar E-Types with it and they look stunning.
400hp, rwd, no tc, and Hammond at the wheel... should have specced the roll cage too 🤣
The comment section on these videos always has me cracking up hahahahahah absolutely brilliant
WonderingWhereTheLaughsWent and a manual
Lmfao
his friend doesn't value his own life all that much i see :D
And an ambulance car on queue
Richard Hammond deserves that car as a reward for somehow still being alive.
If he gets killed in a car, this will be the one !
@@aleksandaraleksic4067 I think he won't be killed in a car crash. It's pretty much been established that he's indestructible.
It could probably use a roll cage if he's driving.
Then I am more expensive than I should be
@@samarvora7185 Nobody is indestructible.
Drivetribe is basically Grand Tour behind the scenes
You muppet..
No, Drivetribe is in a different league, you muppet.
@@superpixelated7354 yes he is not saying that. He is saying it is like grandtour behind the scenes...
It’s just their lives behind the television. Mostly May and Hammond, haven’t seen Clarkson that much
@@abramo7700
Yeah. Clarkson has a rant and q/a every once in a while but I don't see him other than that.
I love how the LED running lights make it look like it has the headlight covers from WW2
Yeah!
Literally just thinking that
The newer Morgan looks just about the same as the old ones. I like that they haven't tried to modernise the look
@@jnywd8450 if most of the brands stuck with a certain body model type like Morgan has, the world would be a happier place.
Was thinking that
Two blokes, in a Morgan, on a B road, simultaneously exclaiming "bloody hell" at rather brisk acceleration is the most brilliantly British moment I've seen in a while! 🇬🇧
Bonus point for the old school skinhead guy
@@omarkharnivall2439 I suppose he got a lift home with the cameraman!
Spac8 bloody hell , your not wrong.
I don't think they were faking their astonishment.

4:24 "Bloody Hell" in stereo
Best moment xD
kineticdeath almost weed myself laughing.
the most british thing one could possibly say
I felt that🤣
That part is statisfying 😂
"I'm open to that. I love electric cars. I crashed one."
That killed me.
Nearly killed Hammond as well!
@@toohottie001 Exactly what I thought too! 🤣
Who’s here to see the car after it’s gone?
Anyone have any details on what happened?

Hahahaha
BLOODY HELL
6:49 "I'll see ya, mate. Drive carefully." after getting kicked out in nowhere land.

_"I love electric cars... I crashed one"_
"-I enjoy them"
You really get to know a car when its under your feet.
And then over your feet.
And then under your feet. And over. And under. And then on fire.
and it burned for 5 days :O
He didn't crash it! He gave it an unique styling option!
What do you expect from dead inertia...
Many years ago, when I was about 20, I bought a 1962 Morgan +4. I thought it was the coolest car ever! And I loved the looks I'd get when I drove it. It had an Austen-Healey engine that ran just fine. The only real problem was that no matter what I did, or how many times I had it in the shop, it would always over heat. So it spent more time in repair than the amount of time I could drive it. Still, I loved it's quirks. The car had both an electric starter as well as a tool for manually cranking the engine over. But my favorite quirk was that in the owner's manual it literally said to 'periodically tighten all bolts in the car'...
ah back when the youths of the world could afford actual things
Not the TR4 engine, then?
@@Channel-os4uk You may be right. It was decades ago.
@@stryk3r360 I got a car when I was 16, was pretty easy with a job.
Morgan: this will be great. With Richard Hammond showing off our craftsmanship, it will surely increase sales.
Hammond: I bought this car cause it is a monument to a dying breed of car - the future is electric
Morgan: ...
You: Too lazy to type in english.
@@psygn0sis ?

@@psygn0sis what's wrong with his english?
@@psygn0sis it makes sense
So Hammond, who Clarkson said wants to be an American, went and bought the most British car ever.
Richard King I’m sure he’s been a Morgan owner for a couple of decades, whilst it is a very British car it’s closer to the American muscle car than many others, high bhp / weight ratio, rear wheel drive, no traction control. Yep he’s got an addiction to American cars but I think he’s got broader tastes than TG / GT really showed.
@@vernonbear American cars are not high power to weight at all lol. High power yes but none of them except for the Corvette are a reasonable weight.
@@jaydenbecker2757 True enough, I got my license in a 425 hp 5200 lb New Yorker! It was a slightly modified '67 and idled at just over 35 mph so I had to ride the brakes then explain why to the instructor. ON a long trip you could sleep in the back seat of you weren't much over 6' tall and was like driving your living room on the highway but the gas, the horror...the horror. About 14 imperial gallons a mile on the highway and 7-8 in the city. Mind you it was only 43.9 cents a gallon then.
What he had built is a English Car with Amarican Wheels and Italian leather interior and German headlights ..lmfao😂🤣😂
I can tell by the look on Hammond's face when they peeled out of the garage that he is a VERY happy boy. Also don't think the Morgan employees were expecting the quick exit by the Hamster lol
No there worried he's behind the wheel lol
I'm guessing it was staged as the location wasn't completely safe for the peel otherwise.
@@whoarewe7515 You may be right. That may have been the last time they saw that car the right way up and not on fire.
Lol
if you take delivery at the factory, any factory.... thou shalt Do a smokey burnout.... just for the story..
1:50 I like how when he says if you disagree with what I have, go buy your own.
Morgan: "Now do remember to run the engine in for the first thousand miles or so"
Hammond: **channels his inner Jeremy** POWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Speeeeeeeeeeeed and powwwwwAaaaaaa
You: Too lazy to type in english.
@@psygn0sis, I felt the emotion was better expressed through the use of an onomatopoeic word. Is that good enough English for you?
psygn0sis you have no words
The synced “bloody hell” made me laugh
Can't wait for that feeling next week when I pick up my Moonstone and blue leather Plus 6!
LOL I remember when they showed the concept on Top Gear and Jeremy and May just roasted the car, and then Hammond said he reserved one.
I suspect that's precisely why they roasted it....
The algorithm is broken and so is Richard's Morgan.
The algo is all wet and so is Hamster’s Morgan.
Hammond: im going to use it everyday.
British weather: No, i dont think you will.
@buggeroff True! Best weather for mushrooms that is
He better make sure that convertible top works because I have a feeling it's going to get a lot of use!
TheGoQu It turns into a moving pool 😮
buggeroff okay now pass the joint
Its got a roof
Jeremy Clarkson’s response to your purchase:
“You’ve bought a forest.”
More like "Hammond you bought a car thats older than the wood used to make it."
@@samueljones3668 :D good one
Samuel Jones actually these Morgan’s are actually made in 2015 and designed to look classic
Are you sure? He got a "Forester Subaru" flat 4 (old beetle engine? :-())
@@Tywild327 way to be the only politically correct wet weekend on the drivetribe channel, he knows that it's called making a joke you nob jockey
It looks like something that you would expect to see at a gothic funeral or in Dracula's garage.
Been watching Hamster for decades, still enjoy every minute! Thank you for this.
Fills me with pride to say I work at Morgan
Coming for a tour in may, any good?
Every engineer in England would love your job. Lucky guy you.
Conner Macrae , still making the three wheeler?
I visited the factory back in 2013. I was staggered how the cars were made from wood to engine. I may never buy any sports cars in my life because I'm no where near wealthy but I gotta love these cars made of soul and passion. You guys are making pure art. Hats off sir !
MrWeeRhys it's fantastic. A great tour
I was waiting for the studio/tent audience to applaud at the end...
I miss the old boys.
They have a new grand tour series out , 1 epi was released in december last month and it's hilarious 🤣
@@MAG-ob8bt Seemen lol no cars it was boats, they should do one at the south pole this time they already did the north pole.
Every episode of top gear is available On motortrend on demand it’s 5 bucks a month and it is Netflix for car guys. Hands down best app I have. 10/10 need to get it

Foot down and zooming off

@@psygn0sis you: copy & paste the same idiotic text when it isn't even appropriate.
Back in the 1940s I was an apprentice in a English Ford dealership.
I worked on a Morgan. It had a Ford side valve engine and wood floors.
Cool
I love British humor:
"Hey, it's raining 90% of the day, let's build (and buy) oltimer-stile convertibles
We've been known to have droughts 😂
K-Man Sports..Because it doesn’t rain as much as you think it does.
I had the roof down yesterday 🤷♂️
I had mine down on the weekend. It was like - 2... That's what hats are for
biggest market for convertibles per capita??? UK by a long long way. Its actually quite nice driving with the top down in a reasonably overcast day. Its cool and refreshing. When its overly hot you will find majority of people keep the top up so they dont get burnt lol
At 6:55 I was expecting the usual cheers and claps as it fades out to a studio on that bit
Feels like old habits are hard to get rid off
and on that bombshell.....
Damnit now you’ve made me sad
I came here looking for this comment!
RIP Morgan you lived the full life of a Mayfly 😢🥺
It looks AMAZING!!! The LED headlights make it look badass especially with the whole body styling of the Morgan...btw is that a BMW shifter...BMW engine!?!?
Correct, it's the B58 & ZF 8sp gearbox 👍 interestingly, they may more power than claimed in the M140i/M240i & they have lots of tuning capability (if you'd be mad enough to tune it in a Morgan)...
Don’t call us “DRIVETRIBErs” we should be know as the tribesmen

@@rccarz5 not funny didn't laugh.

@@rccarz5 Not in North America, you tit.
I can only imagine Clarkson and May eyerolling in the background.
Let em. This thing is class in moving form. And hopefully it'll only be moving with its wheels firmly on the road.
“Hammond you idiot. You bought a canoe not a car”
Jeremy Clarkson: You know this car has a engine barrowed from BMW Hammond?
i think may would like this.
You are soo lucky to live in a sunny and warm country, so you can use your open car every day
Mate it’s England, it rains everyday
Just catching up on old DriveTribe videos. This is such a beautiful car and I’m sure it will bring Hammond many, many years of joy.
Dude the car is dead. Richard revealed it in a video that came out yesterday.
Timeless masterpiece, the day this beauty dies will be a true watershed.
The best of both worlds: Hammond with his background as a TV-presenter, being able to talk about a car in a way few others can, but without being limited by a script.
Life's alright when you can buy a car that looks like it's from the 1920's that costs more than my house.
Sweet ride! 🚗
You have a house? Lucky bastard.
You have a bastard? Lucky man.
@@xcellar8r383 u called him a basterd. Lucky man
@@drunkenhobo8020 Not a very good one, I'd rather have Hammond's car ... so that I can sell it and get a better house.
@@xcellar8r383 is having a bastard and being a bastard the same thing?
Came here after the latest vid. ♥ RIP Morgan
What a marvellous job. Another great vehicle saved. Well done Richard
I love the way the daytime running lights are in the style of WWII blacked-out headlights.
Thought the same 😁
it must be terrifying to be Richard Hammond's passenger, especially when he's driving on a straight
On the straight its fine. When he approaches a corner is the issue
The jet car was all on a straight.
@@LiquidSSSnake what about the Rimac electric car on the hill climb where he did not make the corner at the top
@@neiljohnson3068 Well, he kept driving straight when a corner appeared. I think that was the problem.
or a corner lol
The look on his face when he turned around and said, "Oh, yes." Priceless.
4:24 that moment when the acceleration makes even your front teeth pop out of their socket
That is so weird, where did it go?
@@FeatherleszBiped Probably wearing a retainer or partial dentures
Funny how Richard can’t escape his accident history, “I crashed one”. Lol!
Rigo Zuniga You know how many racing drivers have crashed? I’m sure it gets annoying over time and he’s learned to just roll it off since it’s common. It’s like a celebrity that’s been hearing there old song or tag like for twenty years and they just go with it and say whatever
probably because its funny its going to be brought up whenever he mentions electric cars so might as well get it out of the way
Hammond you have made me want a Morgan! Now waiting for Clarkson and May to tamper with it.
Next video - cars with Luke drives a Morgan with summer tyres in the Swiss alps 😁
I'm surprised that a year down the line they haven't painted a Genesis logo on the bonnet.
I was waiting for this comment... Make it happen !
This video is great. The guy from Morgan is just so nice and enthusiastic about being there with Hammond!
! woow !
What a beauty!
Congratulations, to both Mr. Hammond and Morgan!
In next weeks video: Hamster parks his new morgan upside down in a hedge 😂
Does that mean he’s not coming on then?
YES JAMES
Hes on fire james
I wouldn't want to be in a car like that with him driving without a roll bar
Kristaps Drums well, he's currently trapped under the car which has burst into flames and he's being reduced to a charcoal briquette so...no
"See ya, mate. Drive carefully."
*Brrrruuummmmm.... screech screech crash fire fire fire*
Road, sky, road, sky, earth, sky, earth, sky... and the next thing you know there's a Medevac helicopter for Hammond once again.
Please show more of the outtakes. Love it.
Legends say he is still standing there
"You don't buy a Morgan..." It purchases you instead.
Sounds very Soviet
@@viktorpetukhov727 you don't buy a Morgan, Morgan buys you.
When the door went up and you got the first glimpse, I genuinely paused the video and went on to autotrader to look for Morgans..
Will trade my kids for one.
Haven't been home to England for 6 years, seeing the Malvern Hills in the background made me want to visit back home.
Sometimes I wonder what kind of people dislikes videos like these!!? Like do they just dislike because they are jealous?
He’ll flip it
Just a couple more bends and it'll catch fire
😂👍
Very original.
Do we know what color he chose for the underside?
Jason Baylor not yet.
Richard, please do more stuff with that guy..... He's cool as f$&K!
Agreed. I love Zog
This man is a treasure. Please feature him more
He's so annoying lol
This is my dream car, oh boy, these specs are fantastic, congrats!
I do love those headlights: the running lights placed as they are makes it look like a staff car from the blackout with those louvered cans on the lights
5:14 is that Jezza in his Golf catching up?
No, I think it’s a Golf R. I know it’s a joke tho. Maybe that’d be him if he wasn’t so fat
@@JohnJohn-hd3qu hmm probably. I can't identify it clearly through my phone screen
Well spotted lol
GRD PROJEKT
Yes it is, well done good spot!
Wasn’t it the Polo pulling out of the junction just before?
I'm a little surprised to see Hammond in a Morgan... I thought he was only allowed to drive Ford Rangers now 🤔
Balkamp it’s all part of his ongoing mid life crisis
@@Jdudhhsuxbsksj Now way he's in a midlife crisis. He's turning 36 (or 38, I can't recall which) this year.
Watching from Australia good on you Hammond
Still, my favorite car ever made. A beautiful swan song to the petrol era. Thank you Morgan for building art!
You'd think Hammond of all people would want a roof on his car.
Easier to jump out
"CLARKSON! WHERES MY ROOF!"
Morgan: keep it under 6000 rpm for the first 1000 miles
Hammond: sod that, ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR lol
You: Too lazy to type in english.
Absolutely gorgeous nice job to everybody who contributed!
That is actually a beautiful thing, and the perfect blend of 1920's style and modern driveability. I want it.
Don't crash it! I dare you, Hammond! I double dare you!
@Daniel Gustafsson Sjöö What? Do you want Hammond to catch up in flames, again? He can do whatever he wants with it, but I don't want Hammond to seriously hurt himself, or his new car.
@@somegoodfella Well, he survived a 350 mph crash, I think he's gomma be fine anyway as long as he doesn't pass out
@@Anankin12 His luck, God forbid, might run out some time!
Yep, This car doesn't do well upside-down.
If he does crash it, he could get the blue seats for a change
4:22 The best moment :D

6:10 this is why i loved top gear- these guys humour are brilliant.
the current top gear just feels like they are reaping off past glory.
WOW!!! That's STUNNING!!! I NEED ONE!!
4:20 Britishest reaction ever.
That sounds like a BMW B58 hmmm 👀 I've also noticed that BMW shifter
Think of it as a Toyota Supra Super Legerra Kawaii Good Chap !
B58 Is absolute a beast. Best engine.
Humza Ahmed that’s because it is
It does. Shares the chassis from the Z4,B58,and trans so it's basically the missing triplet of the mk5 and Z4 but lighter and crazier
To cherish this "past memory" forever
Looks absolutely gorgeous!! Insanely beautiful car
They look like James Bond villains and Richard looks like a typical driver for the villain
The guy on the right could be Dr. No after retirement, lol.
Congratulations on receiving a beautiful new car Richard. I must be a traditionalist as I think I would prefer Racing green as a body colour. I am very jealous! Thanks for posting and best wishes.
They did a few of them for the launch of the plus six. I saw some when I visited the factory last summer. They looked great.
Amazing combination of colors. And I love the combnation of mate black with glossy/satin black.
Hammond's mate from the pub is a 10x better Top Gear presenter than anyone the BBC have found post Clarkson era.
Hammond doesn't go to the pub. He can't see over the counter..
I love the way you specced the satin as it looks like old 1930’s coachbuilt cars that had part fabric or leather bodies.
Good thing I'm on headphones.
That "bloody hell!" In stereo is hilarious.
And don't crash it, Hammond.
Beautiful spec lovely little car best Morgan yet.
R.I.P Morgan
4:23 the synchronized "bloody hell" 😂
"shall we comme..."
and just bursts out of the garage...
nicely done...
Love the look and lines
I gotta say.... really looking forward to working for this company and hopefully soon to order my own..
Hammond's wife will allow to look at the car once in awhile. Frankly, he's banned from driving it; too powerful and too dangerous.
I like electric cars, I crashed one, should be made into a T shirt for Hammond haha.
"... and i liked it"
Erick Villalva “on that disappointment it is time to end....”
The gloss over the matt finish is what really makes it pop. But it does it in a classy sort of way. I'm liking it.
LOVE the two-tone matte-black and gloss-black.
Toured Morgan factory last April, saw the ( I’m pretty sure) the first new chassis car, still being built. It was beautiful.
I'm glad that we were able to contribute to the final look . The community evolvement was awesome.
My moggi of many moons ago(now passed on to my nephew so still in the family) , when I had it rebuilt I chose old English white with red leather interior, it looked fantastic.
Synchronised "BLOODY HELL"!! You are, Sir.. Everything that is Great about Great Britain!! What a car, what a guy!!
Amazing modern look to such a classic car. Very well done!
isn't it more like a modern car with a classic look?
