does the 2025 Morgan Plus 4 still have a wooden frame?

Question

Accepted Answer

Great question! The 2025 Morgan Plus 4 represents an evolution in Morgan's legendary craftsmanship. Here's the short answer: **not for the chassis**, but **yes for the body frame**.

The 2025 Plus 4 uses Morgan's modern **"CX-Generation" bonded aluminum chassis** — an aluminum spaceframe that replaced the traditional steel ladder frame in 2020. This provides significantly better rigidity and contemporary handling while keeping weight down to around 2,300 lbs.

However, Morgan hasn't abandoned their woodworking heritage entirely! The **ash wood body frame** still remains part of the construction — it's the traditional wooden framing that supports the hand-formed aluminum body panels. So while the underlying structure is now aluminum, the outer body still rides on that classic ash frame Morgan has used for decades.

It's a thoughtful blend: aluminum chassis for performance and safety, with the iconic ash wood framing preserving that authentic Morgan character and craftsmanship. The result is a car that drives like a modern sports car but still embodies that timeless Morgan aesthetic!

Make sense? Can I help you with anything else about this Plus 4 or find you similar vehicles to compare?
