Morgan Motor Company, following other elite British automakers, wants to make money on unique projects and demonstrates the possibilities of «individual tailoring» on the example of a four-seater pleasure car the Spiaggina, based on the previous generation Morgan Plus 4 roadster.
There are no four-seat cars in the Morgan Motor Company's current model line, but if you really want to, the company will make one on an individual order, as it did for one wealthy collector, whose name was not disclosed. Spiaggina is translated from Italian as «chaise longue» or «beach chair», a unique model designed for four, it was produced at the end of last year, but only the other day Morgan decided to tell the general public about it.
At the heart of the Spiaggina model is not the modern Morgan Plus Four on the CX-Generation aluminum platform with a wooden superstructure, but its predecessor Plus 4 with a steel frame at the base. Morgan does not explain why this choice of a donor model is connected — most likely, this is a whim of the client, because using the example of a small-scale CX-T crossover, the company has already demonstrated the flexibility of the CX-Generation platform, it is possible to build the most bizarre conversions on it.

The interior of the original roadster has been thoroughly redesigned for the installation of a folding passenger bench in the second row. The side doors have been removed, chrome-plated handrails for rear passengers have been installed above the rear fenders, the stern is slightly lengthened and equipped with a unique tailgate that leans back flush with the floor. The passenger bench can also be folded flush with the floor to create a large, teak-lined «deck» for outdoor seating. .jpg» />Spiaggina is equipped with a lightweight aluminum roof, for the installation of which it was necessary to build a massive wooden arc, seat belts and head restraints for rear passengers are also attached to it. The side wings of the roof are sheathed on the inside with brown leather, they can be lifted up for easy entry/exit. >The front panel and central tunnel in Spiaggina are also non-standard, a horizontal fabric shelf on a tubular frame is installed under the panel. The seats are upholstered in brown leather with wicker inserts. On the central In the tunnel we see an aluminum automatic transmission selector, which was not found in any serial Morgan Plus 4. The previous generation roadster in recent years was offered exclusively with a 5-speed manual transmission from Mazda and a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated Ford gasoline engine (156 hp, 201 Nm), but, it is clear that it is not difficult to choose an “automatic” for this motor. The modern Morgan Plus Four is equipped with a 2.0-liter BMW turbo four (258 hp, 350 Nm) paired with a 6-speed «mechanics» or an 8-speed «automatic» ZF.
One can only guess how much the unique car cost the customer. The second company will not do the same, but the best customers can count on their own exclusive conversions.
We add that Morgan Motor Company, now owned by the Italian investment group Investindustrial, annually updates its regular Plus Four roadsters and Plus Six, the last such update was presented in November last year: sports cars received modern safety systems, a modified suspension, new brakes and a number of other improvements.
