Morgan Roadster
The Morgan Roadster combines the company's classic ash wood frame and pre-war style with a modern Ford V6 powertrain. It's sought after by collectors for offering an authentic, analogue driving feel without sacrificing modern reliability.
Typical sold price of a Morgan Roadster ranges from $13,599 to $83,550, based on 50 sales tracked on Hypercars. 2 currently for sale.
The Morgan Roadster debuted in 2004 as the replacement for the venerable Plus 8. It continues the company's century-old tradition of using an ash wood frame mounted to a steel ladder chassis. Power comes from a modern Ford V6, initially a 3.0-liter Duratec unit, which was upgraded to a much more potent 3.7-liter Cyclone V6 in 2012, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Collectors appreciate the Roadster's unique proposition: pre-war aesthetics and a raw, analogue driving feel backed by reliable, modern mechanicals. It's a hand-built car that delivers a truly distinct experience compared to mass-produced sports cars. With an average sale price of $65,580, the Roadster market is stable and offers a lot of character for the money, attracting drivers more than pure investors.
Buying Tips
- Carefully inspect the ash wood frame for any signs of rot or water damage, paying close attention to the bulkhead, door sills, and rear wheel arches.
- The Ford V6 engines are very reliable, but a full service history is essential. The post-2012 3.7L cars offer a substantial performance advantage and are generally more sought-after.
- Examine the aluminum body panels for dents and electrolytic corrosion, which can occur where the panels meet steel components. While factory panel gaps can be inconsistent, look for signs of poor accident repairs.
- The kingpin front suspension requires regular greasing every 1,000 miles. Check for evidence of this maintenance, as neglecting it causes premature wear and compromises handling.
