Last picture is how it came to me. Original color was dark green from factory.
Reason for sale due to can’t negotiate reverse hinged doors with present health condition.
£30, 000 ONO or preferably an even trade for a tidy plus 8 (preferably pre 1984 carbeurated).
This is a very attractive Morgan with its high spec features. Note the filler pieces between front bumper and body. Probably the only one with these. Morgan lost money on everyone of these dropheads due to the additional body work.
Virtually a new car with the lovely patina leather smell. Is currently insured (agreed value £45k) and valid v5 in my name. Everything works as it should and drives very well. I have a lift for underside inspection. You won’t be disappointed. No moving on the price. So please don’t ask.
