Although the Plus Six looks little changed from its seven-decade old ancestor the vehicle is underpinned by modern aluminium architecture

The Plus Six is ultralight and has a low centre of gravity
The headlamp pods and raised wheel arches are visible from the driver’s seat, making it easy to accurately place the car on the road
There’s no electronic safety net to rescue you if you get it all wrong
The charismatic Morgan is fun to drive on the right roads
