Malcolm is selling his fabulous Morgan, see the website I wrote for it at:
http://www.twinrocker.com/mogterry.htm
He is asking $45,000 and it is worth every penny. I've driven it and I
would buy it today if I could. To do so, I would have to part with the '47
Ford street rod with a 400 c.i. Chevy, which I could do because the Plus 6
is WAY faster, but both the Cord and the Morgan are in pieces (excuse me,
"under restoration") and essentially worthless.
Not to mention the fact that the '65 Plus 4, which we bought in '67, has
worked its way into the DNA of both my wife and me. Fortunately, I looked
reality in the face and decided that I needed some help if we were to
drive our Plus 4 again within our lifetimes and convinced Malcolm to
rebuild the engine. It is nearly finished and this is motivating me to
finish the chassis.
The Plus 6 is the fastest machine I have ever driven, bar none, but the
workmanship and design are so good that it behaves itself like it was
factory built. When Maurice Owen squeezed the Rover V8 into a Plus 4, he
was dealing with a 50% horsepower increase, the Nascar V6 in Malcolm's
Morgan is a 300% increase! The beefed-up front suspension, 4-wheel discs
and mainly the Panhard bar, traction bars and tubular rear shocks really do
the job. I told Malcolm that the biggest problem with driving that car is
that my face gets tired, a constant ear-to-ear shit-eating grin can wear
you out. Driving that car and getting to know Malcolm has been one of the
high points in my life.
At any rate, if you are like me and
