    Hi Julian, all the issues you have with your car are part of the Morgan owning experience, you either get it or you don’t. In time to come, when you discuss cars with other people, I’m sure they will want to know all about your Morgan’s you once owned. For me, going back over 50 years to Peter Morgan days, The Trouble Shooter in 1990, the 10 year waiting list, friend now deceased owning Plus 8s & Sir Harvey Jones, investigation at The Morgan Motor Company Factory at Pickersleigh Road. Enjoy ever moment in your very special Plus 6 😅

    This is my second Morgan. The first was a disaster and the issues were beyond ‘the Morgan experience’ when considering I parted with 85k. Expectations are higher from consumers now, so either a car is sold as an evolving thing with a lifetime of tweaks and adjustments or they are going to loose an already dying target market. Loving the Plus Six, so I’m a happy chappy.

    Yep, the Plus Six replaced the 2022 LM62 Plus Four. As for Porsche, I firmly believe the Morgan could and should be considered a 718 rival. Although 911 is a different proposition altogether, which is why I have one of those too. Tell me more, 6Porsches, 20years of Morgan, there is more to that story I’m sure.

    Despite what others say, I think you made the correct decision on the wheels (in silver would also have worked since you have a silver roof). They remind me of old school steel racing wheels; a perfect look for a Morgan. The other Plus Six wheel options which are wide open to show "show off" disc brake size and caliper colour might work on a boring looking hot hatch; on a Morgan for me such wheels are a big thumbs down. How about an update video? Have you had any problems?

  • @julian_theviews5011
    @julian_theviews50112 ай бұрын

    Thanks for the comment. I’ve never been too sure about the open wheels as they are a bit too gappy. No problems with the car as such. The overseer light came on, yet I had that on my manual plus four where it doesn’t actually apply, so it’s most likely a sensor issue. More videos to come now the rain has stopped!

    Thanks for the video and love the spec of your plus 6. Gorgeous colour combo. I currently drive a ‘77 Porsche 911 Targa and I’m seriously considering selling it to get a Plus 4. I popped into Brands Hatch Morgan a few weeks ago to look at their Sports Grey one. The only thing putting me off is am I too young to drive a Morgan at 48??? 😂

  • @julian_theviews5011
    @julian_theviews50114 ай бұрын

    I had a manual plus 4 22model. The changes on the 23 make a huge difference. I’d advise (controversially) the auto. Just take one for a drive and you’ll see how good the handling and performance are. There are a couple of good switchbacks on the road from Ightham to the top of Wrotham hill/ west kingsdown near brands hatch Morgan. You don’t need to be going fast to have a lot of smiles on those corners. As for the age thing…. It’s all about the spec. I’d make it mean looking. Full on aggression. Otherwise it can be too ‘country drive’ opposed to ‘blast down the lanes’ in appearance. If you can stretch to the plus 6, then do it. The stance gives it a bit more presence….. and crazy performance. Although the plus four won’t disappoint. Tell Sarah and she’ll help you hit the mark. Don’t forget, they’ll pretty much do anything you ask for.

    Probablemente el coche más bello que se construye en estos tiempos. Cuando compras un Morgan compras la inmortalidad. Sólo estaría en desacuerdo en que Morgan haya sucumbido a la moda absurda de los volantes achatados. Tampoco creo que la palanca del cambio automático debería replicar a la de BMW y debería recurrir a un diseño más clásico. Deseo que seáis muy felices con este sueño convertido en coche.
