Roadster:
The Morgan Roadster was launched in 2004 and lifts the traditional Morgan to a new level of performance, refinement and usability and is a very worthy successor to the +8.
Based on the +8 Chassis, the Roadster uses the superb 3.0 Jaguar V6 engine, and with 0-60 times well below 5 seconds, it really is worth a drive. Please find the specification below:
