Equipment
3.0/225hp Ford Duratec V6, 5-speed with aluminum shifter, wire wheels, Pirelli tires, side curtains, woodrim steering wheel, wood dash, white face gauges.
Condition
Nice Morgan from 2005, that looks like it could just as easily be from 2005, although the chunky modern steering wheel and newer-looking gauges clue you in to its 21st century build date. Represented with only 3612 miles and showing few signs of use. The top and side curtains look brand new. The paint and interior look fantastic as well.
Market commentary
Most Morgans look and sound the same, so distinguishing them can be tricky. This car is from a run of 82 cars earmarked for the US market and and simply called the "Roadster." The Rover V8 from the old Plus 8 had gone out of production, so the "Roadster" got a Ford V6 that actually makes more hp than the early V8s, along with must-haves for the American market like airbags. They sold for about $75K when new and this one has barely aged a day. This price is similar to what clean classic Morgans sell for, and yet the 2005 car has modern conveniences and safety, modern reliability, and several times as much power while looking exactly the same. This was a great buy.
