Morgan Roadster
The Roadster replaced the long-lived V8 powered Plus 8 model when engine supplies ran short for the Rover/Buick unit which no longer passed European emission tests. The replacement was the Ford 3 litre V6 used in the Jaguar S-Type which although a little more refined still offers a good deal of grunt in the lightweight car. Acceleration is breathtaking and comes as quite a surprise for a car born in the 1930s. Driving performance is fun but hardly comparable with modern sportscars. Security and practicality are nonexistent so this is best kept as a weekend car.
