I've a 70th Anniversary model 4/4 with a Duratec engine as well as older Plus 4's ('57 and '63). All great. For me the traditional chassis car with an engine around 2 litres is just right. More power isn't needed and may cause you to come a cropper. Some people are buying the new hyper cars without the skills required to control them in poor conditions. Meantime, my very first car was a Ford engined F-type Morgan three wheeler too which you used to be able to drive at 16. I've driven them for - ouch - 50 years! I'd go with a Duratec 1.8 or 2 litre car, or the great TR engine or Crossflow in an earlier car, either on twin 40 DCOE carbs (which sound great too). Throttle bodies work well on the Duratecs...
They already sell everything they make, 6 - 12 month waiting list and the buyers are true motoring enthusiasts who don't care about that sort of thing. The morgan is lightweight. The brand stands for tradition, craftmanship and pure motoring not for convenience.
Wonderful company, keep on doing what experts want !!!!
I bought that as a daily driver and I love it 😄👍🏻
Nice review. I recently visited the factory and it really is a special place. I had my 3 wheeler out today and it was a blast as always.
'Only 800 or 900 a year built' - Pretty impressive number actually for such a nicely built bespoke automobile.
We don’t see them much in Texas, either. Good review! Thank you!

Do they sell crate engines? I would love to stick the BMW mill in a Ford Pop or T-bucket.
Even to this day, Morgan cars are still hand-built in England.
Can I buy a Morgan in Maryland, in the USA?
I love Morgan's but this is the one I would never buy. A 4/4 with the 1.6 Ford Kent Engine is what Morgan motoring is all about.
Automate the roof mechanism and you'll increase sales by 100% !
You are missing the point.
