Description
Vintage Bonnets (Capots Vintage), specialists in Sport & Collection vehicles in Lyon, are pleased to present this automobile—selected with care and accompanied by a detailed presentation.
We are delighted to introduce this superb Morgan Plus 4, first registered in May 2011 via the Paris dealership. True to the spirit of the Malvern marque, it perfectly captures everything that makes traditional Morgans so charming: timeless lines, coachbuilt craftsmanship, a restrained weight and an authentic driving pleasure.
The Morgan Plus 4 holds a special place in the marque’s history. More lively and more capable than a 4/ 4, while still sticking firmly to a classic philosophy, it carries the essence of British roadsters in its purest form. Powered by the Ford Duratec 2. 0-litre engine, this generation offers an excellent balance between flexibility, reliability and everyday usability.
This particular example has covered just 12, 000 km and is presented in an exceptionally elegant, made-to-order specification. Its Fiat Punk Grey paintwork, paired with a Butterscotch leather interior, gives the car a presence that is both understated, warm and distinctly individual. The combination beautifully highlights the Plus 4’s iconic shape: long bonnet, curved wings, a set-back cockpit and a low silhouette that’s instantly recognisable.
Outdoors, the bodywork is subtly picked out by Sand-coloured piping, in perfect harmony with the cabin and the hood. The many stainless-steel and chrome details further underline the car’s classic character: stainless front and rear bumpers, chrome grille with an air-inlet grille in stainless, round mirrors, luggage rack, rear spare wheel, chrome “bullseye” sidelights on the wings, plus Union Jack and Scottish flags applied to the bonnets. The magnificent chrome wire wheels—with two-ear central spinner nuts—complete the look and emphasise a particularly elegant, traditional stance.
The cabin is distinguished by superb Butterscotch upholstery, highlighted with Light Tan piping, creating a refined, perfectly cohesive whole that matches the exterior colour. The varnished wooden dashboard, with a central insert in brushed aluminium, adds a touch of refinement that’s unmistakably Morgan. The three-spoke Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel, the storage compartments in the door pockets, the stainless switch surrounds and traverse-covers, the leather lock covers, the clock, the map-reading lamp and the aluminium gear-lever knob all come together to create a warm, authentic and meticulously cared-for interior.
This Plus 4 is also fitted with a Sand-colour EasyFit PVC hood, matched with its tonneau cover, integrating perfectly with the car’s overall harmony. You’ll also find an stainless exhaust outlet and rubber step-guards—practical details that help preserve the car in use.
Under the bonnet sits the Ford Duratec 2. 0-litre engine developing 145 hp. Combined with the Plus 4’s restrained weight, it delivers a lively, precise and enjoyable drive—perfectly suited to the spirit of this British roadster. More usable than a very high-power Morgan, but clearly more performance-oriented than a 4/ 4, the Plus 4 represents one of the best balances in the traditional range.
A service has recently been carried out, so this Morgan can be presented with no costs foreseen. It will be supplied with a pair of keys, its service history folder and the owner’s manual.
With its refined and rather uncommon specification, very low mileage, excellent overall condition, properly maintained history and the highly appreciated balance of its Duratec powertrain, this Morgan Plus 4 is a fantastic opportunity for enthusiasts seeking an elegant, reliable and authentic British roadster—ready to get out on the road.
