Morgan Roadster FAQs

• What is a Morgan Roadster?

  A replacement to the Morgan Plus 8, the Morgan Roadster is a model produced by the Morgan Motor Company that shares just about all the same attributes as its predecessor, other than updated engineering attributes taken from Ford in the form of a V6-powered engine. To be more precise, it is a Ford Cyclone V6 engine with 3700cc, 209kW of power at 6000rpm, and maximum torque output of 380Nm.

• Do Morgan cars hold their value?

  Naturally, there is typically some depreciation in the first few years of owning any car, and Morgan is no different. However, the extent with which this brand commands a large majority of its original purchase price is almost unmatched. It really is a reflection of the high-quality manufacturing and craftsmanship tied to this brand, as well as the loyal and enthusiastic customer base that it has built up over more than a century. On top of that, Morgan stock is incredibly scarce, so resell values are supported, and some of the brand's classics actually go on to increase their value over time as collector units.

• Who owns Morgan cars now?

  After 110 years of family ownership, the Morgan Motor Company was acquired by a European investment group, Investindustrial. It has taken a majority stake in the British sports car manufacturer, however, there is still a great deal of influence and respect paid to the brand's founder Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan. Investindustrial is an Italian firm, but Morgan retains its base in Malvern Link, an area of Malvern, Worcestershire, in the UK,
