Your seating position looked better in the new car . I would love to spec one up but the price is a bit too much .I went to the Morgan factory tour great to see British craftsmanship and still looking old . Hopefully one day I will get one great video .
Thank you, UA-cam algorithm… I was trying to find this “retro looking” car… finally I got a random video 🎉😂. I’d love to have one of these for weekend trips up the coast.
Great video and review, just what I needed as in the process of a Morgan purchase. I’m not sure why you do not have thousands of subscribers but I’m sure you will, very professional, informative and fun to watch
Thanks for such a fantastic comparison of these two variants of Plus 4/Four. If you do get the opportunity to drive an automatic Plus Four, that would really complete the comparison and take it to the next level. I thoroughly enjoyed your commentary as well as the videography. Nicely done!
When they're not my personal car traction control offers a little more safety which is lovely in damp conditions 😆 Don't worry, I've experienced the rawness of a Caterham 620s, so fully understand that 'scare' of no TC 👌🏼
This is supposed to be an old to new comparison? I've been driving a 67 Plus 4 for more than 50 years. The new Morgans (post 2010) are not real Morgans. They are replicars. They look a little bit like real Morgan but they are entirely different cars underneath, and they aren't even produced by the real Morgan Motor Company. That is the very definition of a replicar. The Morgan Motor Company became dormant in 2010. Their assets were purchased by a new company, Morgan Technologies. In 2018, Morgan Technologies bought the rights from the dormant Morgan Motor Company, in order to use the name "Morgan Motor Company." In 2019, that company was bought by an Italian investment firm. Meanwhile, these Morgan replicars don't have the sliding pillar suspension (which all Morgans had since 1909). They don't corner as flat. They don't ride as hard and the engines aren't as torquey. They don't have a walnut dash or hand sewn leather bench seats. The fenders are not pounded out by hand - they are vacuum formed. They feature an extremely ugly flop back top instead of the disassembling top which stores completely out of sight. And, on top of all this, Morgans were never meant to be expensive cars. In 1967, a Morgan Plus 4 cost about the same as an MGB (around 800 pounds) If you think one of these new "Morgans" is fun to drive, you ought to try a real Morgan.
Charles Morgan fundamentally killed the Morgan name; Morgan Technologies was a way around the debt he incurred. Its something that they are quietly trying to pretend didn't happen. Much like many families, the great descendants of HFS Morgan clearly saw the potential of green and sold off majority share. A prospect that was probably a delight considering how bad things had gotten under Charles. At one time they were affordable cars for the common man and are now a "luxury" brand. Family greed killed a brand. The company is a shell of what it once was. Its a similar comparison to the classic mini and the BMW mini. Things of a bygone era.
Well said! As the owner and driver of a traditional Plus 4, and who has driven a 'new' Plus Four, I agree. The new one is like most other modern cars - fast but rather dull to drive. And after the debacle in 2022 of the failed brake servo on new Morgans which required every car to be recalled, I wonder about the design and build. And ask any breakdown lorry driver about the cars which they pick up the most - after Land Rovers it's usually BMW, and the new cars all have BMW engines and gearboxes. And yes, prices are silly.
Every Morgan is extraordinary ! Even more ! Morgan cars represents the glory of the British Empire and uniqueness, combined with an English tradition 😍. Those Morgan cars are not the prettiest not the fastest - not - many more - but ... Morgan cars are the cars with the -- PERSONALITY ! The one you can literally talk to ! Try to talk with some Chinese built EV 😁 ! But let's put it in some order ... Due the fact that i'm literally mad about Morgan cars - my favorites are ... 1.WORK OF ART :- Morgan Plus Four CX-T 2.Morgan AeroMax 3.) Morgan Four Seater ( 223 hp ) - three 🇬🇧⭐ ! Literally ! 🍸
God... that's a tough question - I think I would use the Morgan more... but you can't beat the rawness of a 420R. I think I would be tempted by a Plus Six over the 420R though 👀
'It's no where as scary'. - as New model. Someone once said the 4/4 is like owning a 40's hot rod. I test drove one pre MX5 gearbox. A drivers car... no need for a heater you sweat so much. But at the end of the day it is the most cool car on UK's road. There will never be an EV. .... will there....
I recently saw an episode of wheeler dealers about the morgan plus4. I could not believe how shitty the chassis is and the floor of the car being made of mulitiplex. I would not feel save in such a car.

OK, so when will the new ones by coming to N. America? We are VERY ready!

Glad you enjoyed the video, they make for a perfect weekend car!

Thank you, I really appreciate your comment - I'm glad that my video has helped!
Enjoy your Morgan 😁

Thank you for your comment - I'm just as hopeful to be behind the wheel of an Automatic too 😁
You should ours.
@Supercarcopilot I am hoping that you are you going to take @berrybrookmorgan3482 on their offer :)
@@berrybrookmorgan3482 I'd love to 😁
@@Supercarcopilotbrilliant.. I am looking forward to your review ❤
One day I will own a Morgan .❤❤❤
Wow. Great cars but why do feel you need traction control in a Morgan? It's a drivers car. You should try a Capri that would scare you.
When they're not my personal car traction control offers a little more safety which is lovely in damp conditions 😆
Don't worry, I've experienced the rawness of a Caterham 620s, so fully understand that 'scare' of no TC 👌🏼
I remember it was a race team nowadays there just posh knobs 😂😂😂

What would you choose, that or a caterham 7 420R ?
God... that's a tough question - I think I would use the Morgan more... but you can't beat the rawness of a 420R.
I think I would be tempted by a Plus Six over the 420R though 👀
