Buying Tips for 2024 Morgan Plus Four / Plus Six (CX-Generation)

  • ✓Check the BMW-sourced automatic gearbox (if fitted) for smooth shifts, particularly when cold.
  • ✓Inspect the wire wheels (on Plus Four) or alloy wheels (Plus Six) for any signs of curbing or damage.
  • ✓Verify the fit and finish of the traditional ash frame and hand-beaten aluminium panels, ensuring panel gaps are even.
  • ✓Test the modern digital dashboard and infotainment screen (if fitted) to ensure they operate without glitches.
  • ✓Check the condition of the mohair hood; it is vastly improved over classic models but still requires careful folding.
  • ✓Ensure the vehicle has a full service history; while the engine is BMW, the chassis requires Morgan specialist knowledge.
