That is similar to all Morgans the Roadster should order. An all-new car (despite its classic lines) the vehicle is powered with a Ford 24 valve 3.0 litre V6 which supplies the driver having a useful 223PS – sufficient to power the conventional car to 100kph within five seconds – and also the optional lightweight-bodied variant to that particular speed in yet a shorter period.

Top speed has been said to be over 130mph (210kph) but given the car’s 1950s aerodynamics, you’d need to be brave to prove claiming. But who cares anyway?

What counts may be the Morgan ownership experience, which car delivers that in spades.
