It's so refreshing to view and listen to a car review by a professional driver with informed comments rather than an amateur presenter hoping to be the next Clarkson.
From the Silent Stig to the Articulate Ben Collins. Great review. I mean it. A very well-presented, beautifully expressed review of an old British marque.Terrific.
being 6' 9" tall, that's one of the many automotive experiences I will never get to have- the feeling of driving a lithe roadster on a twisty road. I guess I'll just live it vicariously.
Thank you for flipping me the keys (for those reading, this film only came about because Christian (Motorflix) appeared at my house in this car and it was too tempting not to go for a spin)
Nice to hear that you were happy with the manual gear shift. A salesman at our local Morgan dealer said to me - as I mentioned that a manual should also be available in the PlusSix (which it is not), that the gear ratio in the manual was too large/ wide so that you can actually only use the first four gears - apart from a German Autobahn. Would you confirm this statement of his? Not had the opportunity yet to test drive the PlusFour with a manual ….
I fell instantly in love with Plus 4 when I saw it first time on a cover of a British magazine more than 40 years ago… The one with the wooden frame and leather strap over the hood (bonnet)…. They were still produced in small number (by order in UK)…. Six figures back than (and in the former USSR) seemed like a dream….. Now…. In California… this would be a perfect weekend drive…. I still love the old ones with chrome and lots of things done by hand the old fashioned way…. Someday…. I will own one in red…. Or distant second ….silver.
Owned a Moggy in the 70’s and since had lots of great cars. I currently drive a Porsche, but the more I remember of my Moggy time and watch vids like this……. It’s going to be a difficult choice!
@@BenCollinsDrives Three years ago I went to Alfaholics open day and did a video on the event, I took a leaf out of Love Cars book and finished it off with a drive up Cheddar Gorge; this is still my most watched video on RU-vid!
It's a lovely thing, but, and I hate myself for typing this something was lost when they put BMW engines inside. If only Morgan had had the resources to to be able to remake the K Series and bolt on a supercharger, or even go down the Honda VTEC route, what with the tenuous British connection. But hey ho, one can still dream.
