1989 Morgan Plus-4

Highlights

  • Regular maintenance and servicing
  • Garage stored and SORN for 6 months over the winter
  • Rear drum brakes recently overhauled
  • MOT valid until April 2025

The Appeal

One of the British motor industry's most enduring, eccentric icons - the Morgan is still one of the most unique cars on the market today, and much of its success is owed to this - the Plus Four. Produced over three separate periods from 1950 to 2020, the fusion of sleek, modern curves on an eminently retro design continue to make these cars an impeccable tribute to British eccentricity. 
This 1989 Plus Four has been meticulously maintained, with a comprehensive service history that reflects its well-cared-for nature. The current owner has ensured it remains in very good order, storing it in a garage and avoiding use in adverse weather conditions. With recent work on the rear drum brakes and an MOT valid until April 2025, this Morgan Plus 4 is ready for the road.

If you want a retro-classic roadster from one of the UK's longest-running car companies, this is a highly engaging prospect.
