Morgan Plus 4 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1950–2020) — First Generation
The Morgan Plus 4 blends classic British roadster charm with modern reliability. In its First Generation, the Speedster body offers a pure, open-air driving experience. This article explores the powertrain and what makes it feel so engaging.
The Morgan Plus 4 engine in this generation is a 1.8-litre petrol unit, paired with a manual transmission driving the rear wheels. This setup is refreshingly simple, focusing on driver involvement rather than outright speed. A five-speed manual gearbox offers precise, mechanical shifts that encourage you to work the engine. The rear-wheel-drive layout gives the Plus 4 a balanced, traditional feel, with light steering and a lively front end.
