Morgan Plus Six – Classic British Coachwork Meets Modern Muscle

Dan Sherwood

Few cars bridge the gap between heritage and high performance like the Morgan Plus Six. A celebration of British automotive tradition, this unique Morgan roadster is a fusion of classic craftsmanship and contemporary engineering – and the example we’re proud to offer today represents one of the most impressively specified Plus Six models currently available on the market.

Finished in bespoke two-tone matte paintwork, this particular 2021 Morgan Plus Six convertible is anything but ordinary. Not only does the special-order finish make it a head-turning rarity on UK roads, but with only 1,200 miles, one previous owner and over £9,200 in desirable factory options, this already thrilling machine is elevating into something truly special.

A New Era of Morgan Motoring

Founded in 1909, Morgan Motor Company has built its reputation on hand-built, classically styled cars that offer a driving experience like no other. Even in the age of autonomous technology and digital dashboards, Morgan has remained committed to its core values: craftsmanship, analogue engagement, and distinctive design. But that doesn’t mean it hasn’t embraced change.

The Morgan Plus Six, launched in 2019, marked a significant evolution for the marque. Built on Morgan’s all-new CX-generation bonded aluminium platform, the Plus Six is stronger, lighter, and more refined than any Morgan roadster before it. At the heart of this transformation is the BMW-sourced 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six engine, known to enthusiasts as the B58 — the same unit found in performance icons like the Toyota GR Supra and BMW Z4 M40i.

With 335bhp and 369 lb ft of torque, the Plus Six can sprint from 0 to 60mph in just 4.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 166mph. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission, offering lightning-quick shifts and smooth cruising capabilities alike. This is a Morgan roadster that can keep up with – and often outshine – modern sports cars, without sacrificing its vintage soul.

An Exceptional Example with Rare Options

This particular Plus Six is an enthusiast’s dream – both in terms of performance and aesthetics.

The two-tone matte finish, rarely seen on Morgans, adds a layer of depth and modernity to the car’s classic silhouette. It’s subtle yet commanding, blending old-school charm with contemporary edge, especially when combined with the black 18in Speedster alloy wheels, that not only look purposeful, but also complement the exterior paint scheme perfectly.

A factory-fitted aftermarket CX sports exhaust system enhances the soundtrack of the BMW B58 engine, offering an addictive growl under throttle while remaining civilised at cruise, while inside, ergonomically designed Comfort Plus quilted leather seats with twin-needle stitching ensure that long journeys are a pleasure, not a chore.

Other options include a leather-topped walnut dash, contrast stitching, gloss black centre console, and a digital driver display subtly integrated into the instrument cluster.

With these features and more, this Plus Six achieves a perfect harmony between past and present – something only Morgan can deliver.

Hand-Built Heritage, Future-Proofed Performance

Each Morgan is built by hand at the company’s historic factory in Malvern, Worcestershire, where skilled craftspeople shape aluminium, wood, and leather into rolling works of art. The build process takes hundreds of hours, and the attention to detail is unmatched. With a Morgan, you’re not just buying a car – you’re investing in a legacy.

And in the case of the Plus Six, that legacy is now turbocharged and track-ready. The use of BMW’s reliable and powerful engine, along with the engineering advances of the CX chassis, means the Plus Six offers long-term drivability and low maintenance costs compared to vintage or air-cooled classics.

Why This Morgan Plus Six?

If you’re in the market for a Morgan Plus Six, examples like this don’t come around often. It’s low-mileage, exceptionally specced, and has been maintained to the highest standards. With its rare matte paint, performance-focused options, and impeccable build quality, it’s a true statement piece for any serious collector or enthusiast.

Whether you’re a lifelong Morgan devotee or new to the brand, this Plus Six offers the best of both worlds: the charm and character of a traditional British roadster, with the power and precision of a modern performance car.
