The new engine develops similar power, though less torque,[1] and is slightly lighter than the Rover V8 which results in increased performance and better fuel economy.

Suspension is traditional Morgan slider type up-front and solid axle / leaf spring at the rear.

The standard colour range is Royal Ivory, Corsa Red, Indigo Blue, Connaught Green, and Black, but any single colour or two-tone combination from the ICI Autocolour range is available as an option.
