Few sports cars offer quite the
same blend of tradition, character and driving involvement as the Morgan 4/4.
With its unmistakable silhouette, lightweight construction and wonderfully
engaging road manners, the 4/4 remains one of Britain's most enduring sports
cars and continues to attract enthusiastic owners who appreciate its raw,
analogue appeal.
First registered in June 1984,
this very well-prepared Morgan 4/4 certainly belies its age. Finished in an
attractive dark blue with a contrasting light tan interior, it presents
beautifully throughout and sits on a desirable set of wire wheels that perfectly
complement its timeless appearance. Showing 64,629 miles on the odometer, it is
a car that appears to have been enjoyed exactly as Morgan
intended.
Beneath the bonnet lies an upgraded
1996cc 16v Zetec engine running on twin Weber 45 DCOE carburettors, together
with further enhancements carried out by respected Morgan specialist Mike
Duncan. The result is a wonderfully characterful sports car with a fabulous
soundtrack that is sure to delight both driver and passengers
alike.
Hints towards the car's more sporting side
can be found throughout. A Safety Devices rollover bar is fitted, along with a
battery cut-off switch and motorsport tow points, while the Speedmog
Championship decals provide a further clue to the car's hill climb and
motorsport pedigree. Together, these features suggest a Morgan that has been
prepared for enthusiastic use while retaining its road-going
charm.
The vendor reports that the car was driven
some 30 miles to the sale and it has been starting readily on the button during
its time with us for photography and video purposes, further reinforcing the
impression of a well-sorted and usable example.
Accompanying the car is an impressive history file including the V5C,
owner's handbook, no fewer than 28 previous MOT certificates and a collection of
invoices documenting maintenance and expenditure over the years. Also included
in the sale are the spare wheel and flat rear panel.
Combining handsome looks, thoughtful upgrades, motorsport-inspired
preparation and proven usability, this Morgan 4/4 offers a hugely appealing
package. Equally at home on a winding country road, a hill climb paddock or a
sunny club run, it is a charismatic and beautifully presented example of one of
Britain's best-loved sporting classics.
