The Morgan Roadster 3.0 litre V6

Drive a Morgan, and you drive the dream. The stunning new Morgan Roadster marks a new departure in sports motoring while continuing a unique driving heritage.

Handcrafted for each customer using traditional coachbuilding methods and the highest quality materials, the Roadster combines the sweeping, iconic lines that set Morgan apart from the crowd with the latest lightweight 3 litre V6 engine technology.

Meeting all the latest world standards in engine emissions and fuel economy, the new unit powers traditional Morgan motoring into the 21st Century.

With a low centre of gravity and near perfect weight distribution, the car has remarkable balance and poise. The whole package delivers breathtaking performance and an unparalleled driving experience.

The Roadster caters for your body as well as your soul — like every new Morgan sports car, but unlike some other two-seaters we could mention, it meets the latest European safety standards, including front and side impact tests.

This is a sports car unlike any other. Its ancestry is steeped in racing spirit, and every ounce of its hand-crafted construction speaks of individualism. It is the perfect antidote to all that’s bland in modern motoring.

Drive the dream. Drive the Morgan Roadster.

Rod's opinion

"The Roadster carries on where the +4 left off in so many ways. There is more of everything - especially in the engine department and the sound of the V6 is reminiscent of the 6 cylinder engines of Jaguars in the past.

A lovely big engine feel."
