The Morgan 4/4 represents the quintessential British sports car experience, combining traditional craftsmanship with simple, reliable mechanics on a super-lightweight, ash-framed sports car that feels like it's from another era. For years, these gleefully anachronistic cars have defined a niche that no other car can touch.
This example stands out as a genuine one-owner car from new, purchased directly from a Morgan dealer in Reading in 1979. The current owner even visited the Morgan factory in Malvern to personally select the leather for the seats and trim! Having covered just 12,256 miles in 46 years of ownership, and benefiting from a recent full respray and major service, this 4/4 presents in very good order with impeccable provenance.

The vendor reports that the car "is great fun to drive, handles well, and corners like a crab"
