Hi Bob, I had a 1985 CVH 4/4 and still have the original brochure. It was a great car that I used every day for a 20-mile commute for 2-years.
The brochure quotes 96 bhp and 98 ft/lb torque at 6000 and 4000 rpm respectively. With the 5-speed box, final drive ratios are 1st-3.65:1, 2nd-1.97:1, 3rd-1.37:1, 4th-1:1 and 5th-0.83:1. To check the power, use 3rd or 4th gear but measure the rolling circumference of the rear wheels first and use a GPS for speed measurement as Morgan allowed 10% in their early speedo’s. Best of luck.

Two years ago the TR6 was poorly and so the Morgan was pressed into service for the Le Mans Classic trip and was a joy to drive Last autumn we resprayed her and on this years Le Mans trip she just went over the 20,000 mile mark. I now wish to know how well she is running, so what I am looking for is information on the performance I should expect and statistics such as 'final gear ratios' etc. I have Original Morgan by John Worrall and Morgan the Last Survivor by Chris Harvey but neither cover the Series 1600 cvh with 5 speed box.very well. Any information would be appreciated. p.s. Anyone looking for a good TR6?
