Morgan said on Thursday that its Plus Four model will be back on the U.S. market in early 2025 as long as the federal government gives its final approval. So, it will be the first Morgan with four wheels to be sold in the U.S. in almost twenty years. Morgan thinks that the Plus Four, which has an inline-four engine and is smaller than a Mazda MX-5 Miata, will cost $84,995 when it comes to the U.S. On the other hand, some people think that the Plus Four will be one of the world’s most affordable, fully handmade cars, with hand-formed aluminum bodywork on top of a hand-cut ash wood frame. Another part of the so-called FAST Act (Fixing America’s Surface Transportation) that will give Morgan’s network of 12 U.S. sellers exclusivity is that they will only be able to sell up to 325 cars in a single year. As Morgan was the first car company to successfully navigate the bureaucratic hurdles needed to get a modern version of an older vehicle approved for sale in the United States, the Plus Four doesn’t have to follow many modern safety rules that would have been too expensive for Morgan to meet. The company still had to make a new onboard diagnostics system for the 2.0-liter engine it bought from BMW that would meet the standards of the California Air Resources Board. I finally finished it, though, and now you can buy both the Plus Four and the Super 3 bike, which was brought in to meet motorcycle safety standards. Will other updated types of antique cars from countries other than the United States follow?
