Handcrafted using skills passed down through the generations and famous the world over for its unique craft tradition, the Morgan is the quintessential British sports car. This model is part of the Morgan Plus 4 series, introduced in 1950 and which has gone on to evolve with many enhancements and different models through the years, but always maintaining its iconic British sports car design. The Plus 4 benefitted from a longer wheelbase and a wider track than its predecessor, which made for improved handling and stability.
Largely believed to be original condition and in good running order, this charming gem from 1955 exudes charm, and its lightweight design, responsive steering and somewhat analogue feel on the road will surely provide an involved and engaging driving experience for anyone fortunate to get hold of the keys.
