Finally: A use for the Guardian!

Apparently a proper British adventure must always involve cold, wet skin and lack of visibility. Significant wind chill enhances the excitement level.

It does appear to be traditional. A century ago, Biggles began the morning by surveying no man's land from eight thousand feet or so, being deafened by the Bentley and frozen by the slipstream, and ingesting caster oil to aid his digestion while the Bosche and the magneto tried to kill him, which would be fair game if they'd just take turns, but when they gang up like this... Leave popular fiction aside and look at Britain's real heroes. Scot of the Antarctic. Mallory the mountaineer. Laurence of Arabia. Douglas Bader and his lack of legs. Andy Green, world's only supersonic motorist.

That's just British weather....

For some reason I keep coming back to this video from time to time. Good times for Chris Harris content.

Can't believed I missed this in 2012. Great video!

Always bring a towel with you on​ any journey in a Morgan! ;-)

Well done Mr Harris, fine commentary, with beautiful characterful car...I want one...,:)

Good presenter, good journo, good driver!! Come on Top Gear!

Great video, just the right blend of lunatic on day release, happy car nut and open mind. Love the car to bits. Really good production given the model used, very impressive, shows off the car really well. If the hood was water tight I would be saving for it now. As Top Gear have seemingly fallen off the cliff from a true car nuts point of view we need more content like this to replace it. Go mainstream Chris, get on the IQ-Reducer full time.

If you think this is far from perfect, try my 1995 MG RV8, Chris! But you’re spot on with the sentiment. Suffering and ecstasy hand in hand. Great review. 👍

You found a use for The Guardian! That's the most impressive thing I've ever seen!

awsome test you guys! thank you!

Sounds like Morgan are doing exactly what they should be, great video Drive keep up the great work!

awesome guys ! proper adventure.. spirits remain high

It reminds me of long ago adventures in a not at all weatherproof TR3. Best fun!

Good car but notice the way the top of the BMW logo pops out from underneath the Morgan badge at 7:13. They could've made some new cam covers...

I like chris harris videos, keep up the good work chris harris

Chris is the best car reviewer on KZread!

I just tried one of those. They are much better than shown in the report. Soooo much fun to drive. I placed an order jesterday.

Seeing how difficult it is for Chris to get in it, I understand why Richard Hammond loves Morgans so much.

"Some years ago, Soichiro Honda, the late founder of the Honda Motor Company, reviewed the way the motor industry was restructuring itself, with smaller marques being swallowed up to become part of ever bigger conglomerates. Mr. Honda observed that eventually there would be only a half a dozen major car makers in the world. Then after a pause he added, 'and Morgan'. What Mr. Honda had recognised in Morgan was not so much the idiosyncracy that many outsiders see, but rather it's core values."

Beautiful car.

Chris has gone a long way since I've started following him years ago!

Chris, you are a legend.

Great video, as usual !

He averaged about 66.38mph for 780 miles. Thats pretty fast!

nice job Chirs and drive team that's one of hella trip !

Love the 24 clock-ticking sound!

good looking ride with a thumping motor!!! maybe a better drive in the summer! I like it!!!

I Love your interviews and I hope with this new Morgan you could do a video or a review comparing the Morgan vs Caterham 7 CSR. I would like to know your opinion because I do enjoy looking and watching both of these cars. They are both beautiful cars to me and hopefully everyone gets a chance to be in one of them if not both.

Beautiful and fun car in my view!

sounds nice and looks nice

A video i needed

Chris Harris you legend.

You gotta love that V8!

Love that shirt at the end!

Chris Harris hits the spot when im missing my top gear fix

Love the t-shirt :)

I noticed that too. Quite subtle.

now that's some craftmanship :)

And that is just brilliant!

ahhhh yes, Wednesday is now my favorite day of the week =D

Another quality vid by Chris. A true petrol head.

Will there be a Maserati review in Drive's future? Because i'd love to see what they guys think of the Grand Turismo base model

9:00 "I want to smell the mountains....HA" - GB is the stuff :D

what a dream car!!

Man that thing leaks in the rain, but sounds like a A/C Cobra 427 when he was on it. And yeah, great T-shirt at the end.

Like it...looks cool

Great video @TheHarrismonkey and @drive really enjoyed it. One thing though, those are not Avon ZZR's. The ZZR is a track-day semi slick tire that looks like nothing like the ones on the car in video. Yes I do know I'm a nerd.

Good on you, Chris. But, now I'll have to show you [and all] my Charles Morgan interview we did at Sebring that's sitting on the edit room floor!! Interesting stuff about your BMW engine and more.

My favourite test on the "new" Morgan Plus 8 - well done!!!

Good job Chris

I'm six two and used to drive my dad's old plus 4 four seat (when he wasnt looking) and there was enough room for my legs in the long footwell, and clearance for my head.. I do hope they havent shrunk because I want a plus 8 badly!

jesus, i love the car but it has absolutely no water sealing, a car that price shouldn't even have to worry about that.

It was pre-production car.

love the clock counter noise, just like 24

Wonder if it will come with left hand drive..great video..better car!

I'm glad to see the 4.0 is back on the road. Morgan makes really cool cars all around be it the +8 or the new Three Wheeler, I mean who the hell wouldn't like a Morgan?

I chuckled at the '24' timer sound effects.

awesome, to the drive through I go

dude yes. exactly what i've been thinking

Love it.

"i want to smell the mountains..... AHH!" haha , awesome car though, i could tell that it had a bmw motor in it right away by that sound.

You can quickly get past the fit & finish issues of a small British company when you realize this is a modern AC Cobra with BMW V8 ///Muscle. I like it =)

Haha.. First man to find a proper use for 'The Guardian' :)

80,000pounds and it leaks when raining- I like Morgans but damn-not that much. And it appears not to have a defroster for the windshield.

excellent as always. when top gear dies.... this will be the show to watch... being as it is their 18th season.... the clock is clicking

Chris Harris has driven many hyper/super cars. He likes the Morgan. What does this tell us? That it's a fun experience... Not the safest. Not the fastest. Not the most refined. Which of these is most important? We'll never agree. Personally it makes me proud that hand-made Morgans still exist in a world of bland, robot-built toy-cars. A decade from now when they're rusting in piles, replaced by newer models, the Morgans will live-on giving their owners endless hours of unadulterated driving fun.

Chris & Matt for Top Gear America!

If i had the money i would definitley get a Morgan, they rule!

Nice tee at the end haha.

any one know what is name of song at the end... or where i can listen to whole song.. or some thing.. its really cool

YES same height as Chris Harris ... awesome

Balls to geneva! You're absolutely right!

Awesome car, and one more awesome car review from Chris Harris. Only a little more driving action, and try to get that V8 sound into the video better.

04:40 LOL your going to have to tighten the camera holder abit more if you want to do full on standing start accelerations in a 370 bhp morgan. Nice video as always, Chris.

I really love morgans

A Harris Video.......YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

what engine is this from? old x5 4.8is?

yes we do

Nice shirt at the end.

YOU JUST DID IT AGAIN, OH NOES!

Chris is the best

love the car its fun

love the 24-clock sound effect..... i miss 24... :-(

As I understand it that is the standard airbag steering wheel... most owners whip it off and get a nice non-airbag one instead.

does a raincloud just follow you around?

Whats the credits song?

how much does this thing cost? i really liked morgans but when i see that much rain comming inside, its just stupid, man its 2012, they r producing this thing for so long and still didnt get those things fixed...

The amazing thing is that the British roadster sill keeps its character after a 22 year Japanese invasion into this segment. I mean the leaking roof.

The GT3 RS 4.0 at your house is yours Chris ?

the whole cast of drive + fld should run top gear america

One day I will own one!

nice :D

What happend to the rest of the m550d video?

I'm an American and I 100% agree and understood the "Morgan message" so to speak :D

Neil, anytime you need a day off I will be gladly and respectfully take your spot.

At 7:17 anyone notice the racked rear lower valence and the large out of place washer under the green wood screw?

Good commercial for the Wiesmann roadster.

They really need to work on improving that bloody roof
