Morgan 4 seater

[Tony]

Morgan (http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/car-reviews/car-and-driving/morgan.html) is planning to unveil a new four-seater version of its classic Roadster sports car at the Geneva motor show in March 2006.

The four-seater has yet to be given a name, but it will use the 145bhp, 2.0-litre engine or the 3.0 V6 already used in the Roadster.

Morgan's traditional build methods will continue to be employed, although the company hopes the new model will help attract a wider audience for its sports car range.

Production will begin shortly after Geneva and prices are expected to begin at £30,000.

Lets hope it's a sucess for the old British marque. Morgan allow factory tours, could be a good day out for British car fans.

Reviving an old thread, but there was a press release about this new model just under 6 weeks ago :blush:

The new Morgan 4 seater

THE WELCOME RETURN OF A CLASSIC

New for 2006 is the exciting 4 seater from Morgan. Long awaited by aficionados, the 4 seater makes a welcome return with a raft of new specification, options and for the first time in its 70-year history, engine choice.

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.
