NEW Morgan Plus Four: Road Review | Carfection 4K 

Would you go for the Plus Four or the Plus Six?

Thank you all for watching. Sorry if I didn't reply to everyone in the chat at the end of the premiere (exasperatingly the page refreshed just as I was typing an answer!).

"Tea's ready", Henry, you're just the best at this.

Your production is always spot on guys. The go-to for both great reports along with beautiful footage and editing. Thank you.

It may well be my age (48), but as time has gone on, I've really started to bloody like these things!

Such a car that we need in the modern era

A basic, bare bones classic car from the 1950s, still making until today. I absolutely love this car!!!😍

Straight 6 for the noise. Such a pure engine note

Not only I want to express my appreciation of the excellent production of the video, I also want to let you know that this review convince me further that the Morgan will be my next car. Luv it. Cheers

I am in love with this car, let's say very long time. I visit the factory, there is no museum like it. I love Morgan!

I think this is the best car review I've ever seen. well done

Best bit about the video....Adams Family song at the end! Well done Henry. Visited the Morgan factory a couple of years ago. What an eye opener. Everyone interested in cars should go, an excellent way to spend some time.

Thank god for a manual. I still don’t get why they didn’t develop a more “on brand” gear knob for the auto box. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Outstanding review! You capture the spirit of Morgan! Pure Englishness, which many of us love....

Morgan's are always such a unique mix of old and new tech. Love em.

This is amazing. I hope more companies bring back to life some of their best legacy cars.

Morgan is a truly beautiful vehicle that needs to be in the US. It kills me how rare they are over here.

To be honest, I watch your videos more to enjoy your commentary than because of the cars you're driving 😋

I had a Morgan +8 fifty years ago when I lived in London. Cost 4,000 pounds. I miss it.

I started laughing with the BMW gear selector.

I don’t care that it whistles, or that it feels old fashioned, it’s beautiful, it’s bespoke and handmade. You won’t get that from anything else. And it’s British made by artisans and engineers rather than robots. I’d love one.

Henry is my favorite car presenter best wishes Kinnon.

Amazing review amazing camerawork and editing

I love Morgan. I would always go for the +4 with a manual transmission if I had the money. Thank you.

Teas ready 😂😂 Henry you are an absolute legend 👍

Brilliant Henry. I loved the work you did here. From the Cream Soda to the Plus4. Outstanding Squire. Please keep em coming Henry 👍

Such a great review. And Henry is one of the best in the business... Well done!

I love listening to you. So much better than most car geeks. Don't change

Kept hearing that whistling noise once Henry mentioned it lol

Excellent review. Would also love to watch Doug's review on the Morgan. Especially the quirks and features.

Great review. I've a 70th Anniversary model 4/4 with a Duratec engine as well as older Plus 4's ('57 and '63). All great. For me the traditional chassis car with an engine around 2 litres is just right. More power isn't needed and may cause you to come a cropper. Some people are buying the new hyper cars without the skills required to control them in poor conditions. Meantime, my very first car was a Ford engined F-type Morgan three wheeler too which you used to be able to drive at 16. I've driven them for - ouch - 50 years! I'd go with a Duratec 1.8 or 2 litre car, or the great TR engine or Crossflow in an earlier car, either on twin 40 DCOE carbs (which sound great too). Throttle bodies work well on the Duratecs...

Harry you have really been stepping up your game in recent work with showing some character and making quirky analogies. Your effort and abilities are shining through! Always enjoy your content

Cracking video Henry. Really enjoyed that.

very well presented ..bravo

Oh Henry you silly old bean, cracking journalism as always!

THE BEST PRESENTER EVER best wishes Kinnon.

Now the plus 4 has the cx chassis, I think I’d go for the plus 4 with the manual gearbox.

Why anyone would want anything other than a manual is completely beyond me. Really beautiful car.

Very nice indeed. Thank you. On your question: obviously a Plus Four.....when you roll up in one of these, like it or not, a statement has already been made, and at least it has the right gearbox (don't want to spend hours explaining the added convenience of an auto in your Morgan)....beyond this point, the law of diminishing marginal returns kicks in with a vengeance - not necessarily a central issue for Morgan customers mind you. All that being said, it would be wonderful if they sold masses of both !

Another great video. Morgan page is one of my faves for a configuration de-stress. Have done a few I lock down. BRG always a great colour choice.

In my youth over 30 years ago i owned three Morgans and what fun I had If you can afford one and you like fun i cant think of a better car Today I drive an LC500 and i love it it but i dont regret a min of my time with Morgans

I want one because only an English company like Morgan could be so stubborn to just stick to 50s British sports car styling

Still the best car reviewer in the business. 👌

Great review. I think I saw you film a couple of cornering shots as a mate and I cycled by on our roads bikes- near Peterborough?

A lot of manufacturers need to learn from this, we don’t need every facelift to have more power, if they focus on reducing weight everything is better it’ll be faster, more economical and more fun to drive.

Glad this one is shown in BRG🔥

i didn’t know these existed until about 30 minutes ago (i found a 1980 4/4 for sale on Craigslist). anyway, i think i just found my new dream car

Loving the black-out head lamps! A good way to use modern LEDs on a older looking design. Great video once again, looks fun to drive! Felt like I was getting ready to head to bomber command...

Hell of an icon,but £75'000 as tested. The price took my breath away more than the car or performance.

I can't wait to buy this car used in a couple of years

I'd get the plus six...and immediately get a six speed manual conversion, an uprated limited slip diff, a professional remap and a discrete Eisenmann exhaust. Also, your'e aging well Mr. Catchpole. Right, I'm off to the Morgan configurator for a play and a daydream. Still miss the 4.8 V8.

Wonderful piece of engineering 🥰

I've never understood the appeal of Morgans, but there's clearly a market for this stuff and raiding the BMW / Mini parts bin is a good place to start! I wish them every success

Henry, you should‘ve worn a flat cap. Otherwise, brilliant review, as always!

Elephant in the room is : how is it compared to the previous model which lasted .... 70 years. As you have had a 4/4 as a daily, please tell us Henry.

Until someone comes up with a manual box for the plus six, the plus four is the one to have. As for the price, Morgan’s have been underpriced for years, the are bespoke hand built cars built by a manufacturer who has been doing it for over 100 years. Nobody bats an eyelid at some start up in shed gluing plastic cars together charging 200k but people seem to object to a proper car company like Morgan charging good money for their cars.

Amazing. I wish that put a wooden steering wheel and shift knob though. And the dash.

Just hired (May 2021) a new plus 4 for the day from Morgan. Was hoping for fantastic experience. I'm a slim guy, 6ft tall, so not excessively big. However I couldn't sit up correctly with the soft top on, and when sitting up with roof off my eye line of sight was obscured. When the soft top is on (it was a rainy day) visibility to the side is obscured and my neck was cramped over. Massively uncomfortable and can’t be endured for long. The seat back angle can’t be reclined to make more useable and comfortable. The engine, response, handling, power and external aesthetics are all fantastic, however massively sad to say that the cabin design and ergonomics let the overall car down and make it a undriveable and unbuyable for me and I suspect for a large number of people. I was so wanted this to be a great experience, but Morgan need to put the same focus and work into the cabin as they have with the rest of the car.

Is the manual gearbox borrowed from BMW as well? That would explain the slightly lackluster shifting experience

Definitely, I'd go for the Plus 4 but only until they have devised an automated roof for it! Life is too short to be faffing about for half an hour putting up the roof on that!

Wonderful modern classic car. I wonder how many days in a year you could drive it without the car roof in England though. 😄

Gorgeous car!

@ 4:36 it looks like Henry binned one on a previous run!

Lovely review. Some under bonnet shots would be nice next time.

It's insane that content like this is free for everyone to watch!

Tan interior, satin silver wire wheels & Walnut dash ... with British Racing Green.... car would be gorgeous.

I had a 7 as my sunny day toy for a few years but outgrew it, age is catching me up. If I had the money and the garage space I would love one of these. Sadly I have neither

Even before accounting for the wire wheels, the relationship between wheel diameter and tire depth is so much better on the 4 than on the 6.

Once you pointed out the whistle I couldn't stop hearing it, it would really drive me mad I think! I once bought a bespoke, luthier made guitar, from a famous, highly renowned British luthier, at considerable expense, which although beautiful in sound and appearance, started to emit a high pitched but low volume squeal from the G string when strummed vigorously in certain chord shapes which I didn't notice immediately but once I did it was all I could hear, whilst playing I would listen out for it in frustration wondering if I was imagining it or not, taking it back to its 'Geppetto' I explained the issue, he couldn't hear it, perhaps due to age, as much as I could but one of his apprentices heard my issue and was in agreement, I left with a feeling of being humoured, but to his credit he agreed to try and fix the problem, so I left it with him. I got the guitar back after a couple of weeks and since it only happened sporadically I thought it was fixed but after some playing, it was back, so out of desperation I changed the construction of the strings I was using and it seemed to dull the sound until it was barely noticeable. It may in fact have fixed the problem but I was left with a maddening auricular 'phantom limb' syndrome where I would still hear its discord in the harmony of certain chords. I learned to live with it but it spoiled my relationship with the instrument and after a couple of years I had 'Geppetto' birth me a new 'boy' of whose design I was involved in from the start, having the opportunity to pick the exact pieces of wood, from a species that he hadn't used before, plucked from his vast stocks that he would use in the construction of the guitar, a fantastic and rare, not to mention prodigal experience, which did not stop him, eccentric as he was, from refusing some requests I made because they weren't to 'his tastes'. After the 6 month build-time, I picked up the guitar and to my relief there was no 'phantom limb' and I began the process of 'breaking in' the guitar. It was everything I had dreamed it would be and the sound it produced was almost piano like at times. I would take the guitar back to him every year as I used to holiday in the area and to his credit and amazing customer service he would service the guitar gratuitously , making any adjustments needed and scoffing at any additions I'd made, such as a pickup or brass bridge-pins, which he hated with a passion for some reason, he would remove them and replace with stock pins while servicing the guitar and re-install them when he was done, just to make a point! I expect the same adherence to self imposed tradition would exist at Morgan and the delightful experience of having input in the design process as close to the point of conception as possible, giving a similar feeling of ownership which cannot be achieved with picking options from a brochure, although that can also be a thrill as anyone who has specced a car before its built would attest to, being the picky type I have done this a few times in the past. It's amazing the time you can dedicate to a RU-vid post that no-one will probably read whilst you are on lockdown during a pandemic!

Great review Henry ! Love that Morgan especially in green with matching green wire wheels. I'm not so keen on those horrible headrests, they look a little tacky

Wish they hand these here in the US. It would definitely beat the monotony of Miatas & Corvettes

Wished the Morgan Plus Four and Plus Six models featured slightly modernized looking rear single tail-lights to match the slightly modernized front, something akin to the Philips Berlina, Plymouth Prowler, etc.

I really like the intro part, fun video

Honestly I'm surprised they didn't go to Honda for a banger little 4 pot. A ka would be heavy for an i4 sure, but it would really rip.

can't be many more expensive four cylinders out there

I'll take a Z4 for that kind of money thanks...it requires a very specific customer. But I am pleased to see them still around

What a gorgeous car ❤️

ONE OF THE GREATEST AUTOMOBILES EVER CRAFTED !!!!!!!!!

Henry, we might have to invest in a good flat hat for you..! That trucker cap gives off good headwear vibes, but somehow... I don’t know... a flat hat..! It just sounds kind of cool, I guess..!

I love Henry and as always his review is cracking, just feels odd a morgan review not done by alex

Awesome car! Wish I can afford myself to buy one very soon 😜. Only the steering wheel should be available in a classic look as well. Also not sure about the digital screen behind the steeringwheel. But otherwise, amazing!!! 🎉👌

Its more “fun” for some old country men in nostalgia... I better have a Z4 BMW, case closed. Bytw your videos are top. Thanks for sharing it.

Exactly one year ago today I was in Malvern at the Morgan factory. What a beautiful day

Take those awful plastic CIBIE covers off, for gods sake! Love the looks of this Morgan, but little else. Great video as always :)

Entertaining. I wish i had the money to buy one.

I know i'll never own one but still doesn't stop me configuring one :). Will say the stick for the auto is horrid and the steering wheel doesn't fit the image either :(

The whistle is the turbo you hear.

this is the only bmw engine i want to own. beautiful design

I want a car with the "Swiss" button on it! Lovely!

oh god, now I want one....

The cruiser slob in me would go for the auto. One of only a handful of cars made today that you could recognise without any badging.

Me: am good at animal sounds Henry: Baaaaa🐏🐏😂

A Morgan would be nice to have someday. 🙃

That is 100% a 'Speed Top' Richbrook gear knob. Hello from AUS!

Didn't realize that a company would be dedicated to making cars with olden looks but modern engines. A very strange experience for sure to look at.

i'd love to crack on in a morgan 3 wheeler in the usa!

These potential mechanical and electrical gremlins you mentioned; do you have any facts and figures, comparisons with other models, real experiences to support your statement?

Love Morgan, but think I'll stick with my 1932 Morris Minor two-seater for authentic vintage motoring. And the pram-hood drops in a matter of seconds.

I wonder if you could change the gear selector for the Supra one?

The cap rocks. Please wear it every vid.
