Morgan has taken all of the things that the Plus Six was and moved them on considerably.

Whatever you think of it, its appearance has moved itself up and away from the existing Plus Four, extending the Morgan range usefully.

In terms of performance and ride and handling, too, particularly in terms of its linearity of responses, it’s in a different league to other Mogs.

Ultimately, though, it still feels like a Morgan in the way it drives: you get the sensational view out, sit near the back, and it’s a compact, lightweight, engaging sports car – with some unrefinements.

One suspects, on a wet motorway, in the dark, in November, that the ‘second-position’ sports car like a Porsche 911 or a Mercedes Sl would still feel safer, warmer, more secure.

But on the right road, on the right day, the Supersport is utterly compelling.
