The Morgan Plus 4

To own a Morgan is to join a very special family, to become a part of a classic motoring tradition, one that now combines the latest technology with motoring history.

Back by popular demand, the new Morgan Plus 4 is built on the same principles as the 1950s original — put a big torquey motor in a lightweight car and go!

But don’t be deceived by the traditional looks. A blend of power and craftsmanship, this car has a better power to weight ratio than a Cooper S or a Golf GTi. The new 2.0 litre Duratec is the latest generation engine and with 145 Bhp will propel you to 120mph and 0-62 in just 7.3 seconds — time and again.

The new Plus 4— a modern Morgan classic.

Rod's opinion

"A much quicker car than the 4/4.

Much more power and a much bigger effect from the bigger engine than you would expect. The +4 can corner on sharp corners in 3rd gear. The engine has enough torque to cope and the car comes out wanting to slide rather than roll like the 4 cylinder does.

It's always controllable."
