Morgan · 2004–2019
Morgan Roadster
The Morgan Roadster is a model produced by the Morgan Motor Company. It was introduced in 2004, replacing the Morgan Plus 8. The car is identical to its predecessor except for new, modern Ford V6 mechanicals. The new engine develops similar power, though less torque, and is slightly lighter than the Rover V8 which results in increased performance and better fuel economy. Air conditioning is now standard on U.S. models. Like its predecessor, the chassis consists of a standard ladder frame design and is built from galvanised steel with five tubular or box section cross members. The body is built of steel and aluminum around an ash frame. The suspension is a traditional Morgan slider type up front and solid axle/leaf spring at the rear. Unlike its predecessor, the Roadster was available as a 2-seater or a 4-seater. The standard colour range is Royal Ivory, Corsa Red, Indigo Blue, Connaught Green, and Black, but any single colour or two-tone combination from the ICI Autocolour range is available as an option.
