The Morgan 4/ 4 was in production for an amazing eighty-three years (1936-2019), a fact that earned both manufacturer and model a place in the Guinness Book of Records. The Malvern Company’s first four-wheeled / four-cylinder design (hence the name), it stayed true to the same tried and tested formula for generations. Unveiled in 1993, the Morgan 4/ 4 1800 was faster, cleaner and more frugal than many of its predecessors. Based around a box-section ladder-frame chassis equipped with independent 'sliding pillar' front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc / drum hydraulic brakes, the aluminium over ash construction of its bodywork contributed towards a commendably low kerb weight (circa 868kg). Embracing the marque tradition of using proprietary running gear, the newcomer was powered by a Ford-sourced 1796cc four-cylinder ‘Zetec’ engine (complete with fuel-injection and double-overhead camshafts) allied to five-speed manual transmission. Impractical yet beguiling, the 4/ 4 1800 sported a basic interior, minimal luggage space and potentially argumentative hood offset by a singularly involving driving experience and vivid acceleration.
Supplied by 'Wykehams' South Kensington finished in special order 'Jaguar BRG' over Stone leather, this 4/ 4 benefits from a 'Speedfit' easy up hood conversion and is described as being in immaculate condition with full service history. Displaying some 18, 800 warranted miles, the last service was completed at 17, 620 miles and included a cambelt change. Fitted with a galvanised chassis from the factory, the wire wheels have recently been refurbished. In long term ownership from 1999 to 2021, it comes with assorted old MoTs, invoices, original build sheet, current MoT to March 2026 and Swansea V5c.
