Iam a 32 yr old American and I was never really into cars into I hit my 30s. I feel like now I am playing catch up with all the normal people that have been obsessed with cars since they were young. Am I the only person that didnt know Morgan was still making cars? They look absolutely gorgeous, they still have that old coach built look with a modern day drive train from the factory. That's amazing
Living in Worcester as a kid, we would go to the factory on school trips... safe to say I was excited

"Ah my hairdresser is here, lockdown must be over!" I lol'd. I think I'd have a Plus 4 for the manual and I think it's proportions are a bit more classic. I quite like the blue'ish grey colour they do, with a tan interior. That would be my spec I think. Great video as always!

Dear! Get a M3W rented for a couple of days and enjoy it, but think twice to buy one, especially if you have to save money to buy one. I started my Morgan experience with a M3W which I owned for 4 years and I am a happy owner of a 4wheeled Morgan now. By far the better choice . The 3wheeler is great fun for a short time but the construction is bad. It is unreliable. But if you want to deal with all the shortcommings it is up to you.

What I can guarantee: The M3W will be the greatest fun of driving you ever had. And you will earn smiles and smiles from everyone. I got mine as a substitute for a big touring motorbike but the 3Wheeler is not built for that purpose. Its a perfect cafe racer. If you are aware of the shortcommings, go ahead and enjoy!
I had an opportunity to drive a 1963 Morgan +4 while at university in the spring of 1967. An Art History professor I knew from Northern Ireland had it for sale and was kind enough to let me drive it one evening. The experience was beyond words. It was right hand drive, dark red and the quintessential English sports car. Even though the total experience lasted less than a half an hour, the memory will last me a lifetime. If I were extremely wealthy, I would definitely own a fleet of them. There is no car like them on earth!
I’ve got to say, this video was amazing, the quality is awesome and the car OMG 😍
Great video Sam. I live in England but I've been in New York City since Feb, makes me miss driving on the great English roads. Keep these videos coming.
Great vid. Thanks. So pleased Morgan and Caterham still make drivers cars. So few do these days.
Nice to see you in my back yard :) Love the mating of that 4 pot turbo to the Morgan chassis. Sounds lovely too
Hey man ! great video as always I am enjoying everything you said like I was living it !

It doesn't really look old school enough as the ratio of width of vehicle to its length is wrong for a classic british sportscar of this design. I understand the concessions for modern safety and convenience, but these don't look as good as the older cars if you are after the classic proportions of a typical old British sportscar.
This gave me a lift on a rainy day. Thanks, Sam!
the camera angles you chose are so awesome! very creative and fun!

I rented a Morgan to drive around Cornwall on my last trip to England. What a fabulous vehicle -- like the sport cars of years ago. And this new one looks like a giant leap forward. Well done, Mr. Morgan.
Great review love your enthusiasm. Grew up with Morgans and really want one but a bit pricey, but understandably
Great review and well done
Excellent video Sam, and yes , the Morgan looks beautiful in British Racing Green. Keep up the fun Sam...Cheers from Portland, Or USA
Living in Malvern as a teenager, I did my work experience at Morgan. Amazing company!
Cool car in the green ! Great video again sam
Love Morgan’s and will get one. Factory tour is great and the team are lovely. Was looking forward to seeing them at Geneva this year... maybe next year? Great film.
Great presentation 👏
Nice one Sam! I know those roads so well. Morgans were designed for driving around Herefordshire and Worcestershire. You'd probably need 2 of them, manual for H & W lanes and the auto for the M5 up to Birmingham or down to Bristol!
Wow this suits your aesthetic down to a T! Amazing video Sam!

We had a 1956 Morgan Plus Four Four seater with the Triumph plus 4 engine, I rebuilt the engine fixed the suspension and resprayed it in original British racing green. Wonderful car but when we went on long runs my daughter who sat at the back was always sick so we sold it to an American enthusiast who said if the car would reach 100mph he would buy it and take it back to USA. We bought a 1967 Daimler 2.5.
What an amazing piece of kit. Would love one as a daily.

Is nothing sacred?! Jerry has found his way into that most British of cars, the Morgan...
First heard of Morgan on TopGear with the Aero Super Sport and have loved them since. If the Plus 4 is as much fun as you say it is, I’d go with that. Definitely in the manual variant. I think it’s small size has a lot to do with why it’s so much fun. The Plus 6 would probably be great for cruising, with the automatic gearbox.
I agree. I need to drive a Morgan.

Great review, thank you. I am 73 and considering buying one. One may think, old guy looking to fulfil a dream. Well despite reviewers of Morgan’s concluding that these cars are only weekend cars, I bought my first Moggy in 1975 and keep it for ten years. This was my only car and no company cars were an option. So it was my only daily drive. Not impressed re suitability. Well I was a sales rep travelling around the country. To be still yearning for that experience tells you volumes for the magic of these cars.
That's seriously cool, Sam 👏
visibility 100% xD good review!
My wife would still want parking sensors 😂 In all seriousness, a very passionate and informative review. You clearly communicated the difference between the old, the new and the plus 6

That Plus 6 looks immaculate in white though!
What a wonderfull simple dash!

awesome car. id have to test it, but i think a caterham might be more my thing. ive loved driving those. maybe compare those two sam? love that were getting driving videos again!
Nice balance of new and old. Still think I’d take a Caterham and hang on to the change for some epic trips! One question - and I know it’s missing the point of a Morgan somewhat but how safe are these in the event of a crash, can’t see there being any side impact protection at all?
Lovely car. I would definitely have the plus 4 manual, .... except for the price! Excellent video production.
Perfect car for a British summer!!
