Hello,

Like @baldshap I test a rented Morgan for a few days… it’s a +4S, Ford Duratec 200ch. I compare to the Caterham which has a similar architecture. I find it way harder to drive than the Caterham, heavier, larger, less precise and breaking is hard. The gear shifter is also less accurate. Despite the size, there is no trunk.

On the positive side, it is way more comfortable, more roomy, less wind inside, even without the side windows. Also, the mirrors are not on the windows, so always have them, which is not the case of the Cat.
It looks really gorgeous and people like it, got many thumbs up!

Sounds quite impressive for a car built on 1930's technology.

Well, yes, but I am sure there were many upgrades since then! Starting with the engine… (by the way mine smelt fuel a lot for some reason).
