The Morgan 4 seater has never before been available with a range topping engine – until now that is. Unveiled at the Salon de L’auto in Geneva, Morgan is proud to introduce a 223 Bhp version, giving this model the highest power to weight ratio of any open 4 seater on the market. Two engine variants are on offer, a lusty 145 Bhp 2.0 in the +4 4 seater, and the smooth and powerful 3.0 V6 Roadster 4 seater, both using versions of Ford’s well proven Duratec engine delivering performance, economy and reliability which compliment the sheer practicality of this new model. Major styling revisions to the rear of the car, and improved rear seat packaging mean that this is no cramped 2+2. A new hood system gives greater head room, sufficient for full sized adults to sit comfortably – not that the little ones have been left out, as two ISO fix child seats can now be accommodated in the rear. For those continental trips, or just a visit to the local garden centre, one, or both rear seats can be folded forward to accommodate awkward loads.Sidescreens now have painted lower sections, and a complete front to back wooden centre console can be ordered as an option, linking nicely with the traditional ash framed body – a Morgan hallmark. New too for 2006 are optional 18” stainless steel wire wheels.Prices start from £32,020 including UK VAT for the +4, rising to £39,130 for the powerful 3.0 version. This coachbuilt family fun exemplifies individuality as only a Morgan can. Delivery is currently estimated at 6 – 12 months. |
