What’s the spec like?
The sky really is the limit for the Plus Four.While prices start from just over £76,000, the number of options, changes and extras that you can add means you can quickly add to that base price.There are a good number of standard features, however, including the aforementioned Bluetooth connectivity – though this should be included, given that it’s a commonplace feature on even the most basic of hatchbacks – though not having air conditioning unless you get the £1,325 ‘Touring Pack’ seems a bit mean. The upgraded Sennheiser sound system – which is very good, having been fitted to our test car – does command a premium at £3,120. However, if you’re one for playing tunes quite loud with the roof down, then it seems like a worthwhile investment.
Verdict
The Plus Four occupies a secluded area of the sports car market. Sure, it’s not as focused nor as powerful as many contemporaries, but it’s a showcase of Morgan blending traditional building techniques and a classic style with modern technology and a few creature comforts.
Backed by a pleasingly characterful engine, the Plus Four is the kind of car which allows you to enjoy the road ahead without feeling the need to go too quickly – it’s an ‘experience’ car and one which is all the better for it.
