Description
One owner from new... this Morgan was purchased new by me from Allon White Sports Cars in Cranfield. Over this time, I have put the car to good use, with many trips around the UK and to Europe. Although the car is now showing 51, 500 miles, many of the main components have far less miles on them, such as the engine, which was replaced/ upgraded at 15, 000 miles. These are highlighted below.
The car has black bodywork, 5 black wire wheels and grill, and a stainless rear luggage rack. The interior is burnt orange leather interior with walnut dashboard.
During my ownership, the car has been extensively modified and improved to create the ultimate Plus 4. The main features of the car are as follows:
Engine - The original engine was replaced at 15k miles, with a new Omex 2. 5 litre Ford Duratec unit, incorporating Raceline sump, performance camshaft, Omex throttle bodies and aluminium radiator. This work was carried out by Williams Automobiles in Bristol.
Over the years this has been paired with Simpson Race exhaust system (efficient and not too loud), long 90mm inlet trumpets, relocation of injectors into the cylinder head (to improve torque and low speed pick up) and Reverie carbon fibre airbox (to reduce induction roar). The engine was fitted with a Link ECU and tuned by Northampton Motorsport in 2024 and now produces 222 BHP and has a very flat torque curve delivering 204 ft lbs at circa 4, 500 rpm.
Servicing – The car has been serviced by Morgan specialists over the years (Allon Whie, Techniques and Wolf Performance)
Set up - To handle this increase in power and torque, the car has a Quaife Limited Slip Differential, and the steering, suspension and geometry all modified as follows:
Rear Suspension - SSL 5 Link suspension with Spax adjustable coil over damper suspension.
Front Suspension - Wolf performance suspension build with AVO adjustable dampers.
The original wooden cockpit floors were replaced with aluminium, to improve the chassis stiffness (Williams Automobiles)
Geometry - Wheels accurately positioned, levelled, and camber and caster adjusted to improve cornering, and straight line stability. Fast rack installed to further aid handling/ stability.
Tyres - Avon CR6zz 185/ 70 R15 are fitted, which fill the wheel arch's better than the originals and greatly improve grip.
Bodywork - Cosmetically, the car is in excellent shape, having a partial panels off respray (by Project Heaven 2025) who also ceramically coated the bodywork. Wheels were refurbished by Turrino Wheels in 2025 and new Easy-Up hood with zip out rear window, by Allon White in 2026. At the time of replacing the motor the bonnet had an air scoop added to accommodate the Throttle Bodies.
Lighting - The headlights have been replaced with JW Speaker LED units to make night time travel far less stressful.
Other features/ enhancements to the car include:
Dynomat soundproofing to the cockpit
Heated seats
Remote front suspension greasing
Lumber supports
Moto-lita steering wheel
Wolf Performance carbon fibre instrument panel insert
Push button starting
Organ pedal throttle
Burnt Orange, leather door window inner panels
Side window storage bag.
Tonneau 3 zip
Luggage rack including side screen storage
Bespoke bike rack mounts on chassis (Williams Automobiles)
Rear light board socket
Two sets of keys
This car has been a no expense spared, obsession of mine for the last 15 years and I’ve created a car that looks fabulous, is reliable and performs and handles brilliantly.
I have maintained an extensive file of information on the car and will be happy to provide more details if required.
Unfortunately, I’m now 15 years older than when I bought the car but can’t modify my own body quite as easily, so I’m reluctantly looking to replace it with a CX Morgan that should require slightly less input from me and potentially a bit more fiddling. To this end, I might consider a PX for a CX Plus Four Morgan.
