- Well cared for example garage stored since purchase from Morgan Main Dealer in 2022
The Appeal
Morgan continue to hold the torch for traditional car construction. Ash frames, lightweight bodies, tough power plants and leather trims. It's the legendary British sports car, naturally evolved with ever-evolving electricals, aluminium construction and powerplants.
The Morgan Roadster, from 2004 to 2019, was one of the best-reputed models in the company's modern repertoire and, with a 3 litre V6 and a road weight of 1,000KG, very fast. This particular 2006 four-seater example stands out with its Ferrari Rosso Corsa Red paintwork, offering the rare practicality of additional rear seats for kids or kit while maintaining the agility and good old-fashioned fun that Morgan cars have become so legendary for.
The car has covered only 1,459 miles since it was purchased by the vendor in 2022, and has been sympathetically modified and elevated into a highly desirable car. This well-maintained example benefits from proper storage, a history of main dealer servicing 1,459 miles ago and a factory full service 3,073 before that, and an enviably low mileage. It's got everything going for it!
