2006 Morgan Roadster 4-Seater

 

In 2006 Morgan reintroduced their 4-Seater body to both the classic +4 and V6 Roadster 3.0 which later became the Roadster 3.7 chassis.

Press Release

The new Morgan 4-Seater maintains the strong line of 4 wheel, fourseat car production from the Morgan factory since 1936. New for 2006 is the exciting 4 seater from Morgan. Long awaited by aficionados, the 4 seater makes a welcome return with a raft of new specification, options and for the first time in its 70-year history, engine choice.

The Morgan 4 seater has never before been available with a range topping engine – until now that is. Unveiled at the Salon de L’auto in Geneva, Morgan is proud to introduce a 223 Bhp version, giving this model the highest power to weight ratio of any open 4 seater on the market.

Two engine variants are on offer, a lusty 145 Bhp 2.0 in the +4 4 seater, and the smooth and powerful 3.0 V6 Roadster 4 seater, both using versions of Ford’s well proven Duratec engine delivering performance, economy and reliability which compliment the sheer practicality of this new model.

Major styling revisions to the rear of the car, and improved rear seat packaging mean that this is no cramped 2+2. A new hood system gives greater head room, sufficient for full sized adults to sit comfortably. For those continental trips, or just a visit to the local garden centre, one, or both rear seats can be folded forward to accommodate awkward loads.

This is a true Morgan, from every angle, inside and out. In addition to the re-styling of the hood and rear body-work, new painted lower side creens (with room to stow in the car) accentuate the narrow side window lines. Optional equipment includes attractive polished wood centre onsole plus, for the first time, classically stylish 18″ wire wheels.

Prices start from 32,020 GBP including UK VAT for the +4, rising to 39,130 GBP for the powerful 3.0 version. This coachbuilt family fun exemplifies individuality as only a Morgan can.
