About the Morgan Plus Six
The Morgan Plus Six is a modern classic-styled British sports roadster produced in the UK. It serves as the flagship replacement for the Plus 8, offering a distinctive blend of traditional aesthetics and contemporary engineering. For Australian buyers, it represents a unique alternative to mainstream sports cars, appealing to those who value character and heritage over pure performance metrics. It suits enthusiasts looking for a head-turning weekend cruiser that still handles daily driving duties with relative ease, provided the road conditions are favourable.
In terms of compliance, we focus on vehicles with the LP19 chassis code. Our team confirms that all variants built from September 2019 onwards are eligible for import under the current SEVS approval. This pathway allows us to handle the regulatory side of bringing the car into Queensland without the complexities associated with older, non-compliant vehicles. Since there is no end date to this approval, we can confidently guide you through the process for current production models.
We don't publish specific auction prices or landed estimates here, as these vary significantly based on condition and specification. Instead, we invite you to ask us to search for a specific example. Tell us your budget and preferred colour, and we will find a suitable car, check its history, and provide a clear landed cost estimate before you commit to bidding.
