An attractive Morgan in very good condition with the dependable 2.0 Rover 16v engine
THE APPEAL
Morgans represent a unique and unparalleled reality in the world of modern cars.
Deeply linked to the traditions of the golden age of the automobile, with their elegant and unique lines and their traditional construction techniques they have brought to this day an almost lost concept of pure sports car, conceived to amuse and entertain the driver and the passenger, making them feel involved in the driving experience and transforming every journey into an unforgettable occasion.
Controlled by the Morgan family for over a hundred years, the Malvern company has for decades been the last bastion of the most authentic artisan tradition, creating cars with a steel frame and with a load-bearing structure in ash wood for the bodywork, with long and low bonnets and short receding tails like the uncompromised sports cars of the past, and sporty, intimate cockpits with excellent finishes and upholstered with high quality materials.
Morgan has gone almost untouched through decades marked by revolutionary changes in the automotive worlds, remaining faithful to its unique approach, being able to count on a loyal clientele, willing to wait years to secure an example of its very limited production.
The first iconic three-wheeled Morgans, the Runabout of 1910 and the Aero of 1920, were joined in 1936 by the Morgan 4-4, with a four-cylinder engine and four wheels, which from 1950, with the adoption of the more powerful Vanguard engine, evolved in what would become the most classic of the Morgans, the Plus Four, highly successful in competitions and still in production today, albeit with important technical updates.
. The Plus 4 was produced with numerous different powertrains and received some updates over the years, but it remained essentially faithful to the original design for almost seven decades.
This beautiful Plus 4 Sport, produced in 1995, is still extremely faithful to the characteristics of the original model, perpetuating its timeless charm and elegance combined with modern and reliable Rover-derived mechanics and upgraded Sport suspension.
Having traveled just over thirty thousand kilometers since new and having always been maintained with great care and passion, it is in very good condition, with no visible faults and with mechanics in excellent shape.
Extremely elegant in its original Old English White, it's appointed with knock-off wire wheels, leather interior and luggage rack and it is equipped with the lowered Sport suspension.
Morgans enjoy worldwide fame and are always highly coveted by enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
This particular example represents a precious opportunity to own a car of great charm and undoubted historical importance, with reliable and modern mechanics, ready to go and in conditions of absolute efficiency.
THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK

THE INTERIOR

Leather interior
Solid and efficient dashboard
Morgan sports steering wheel

The passenger compartment of this Morgan is surprisingly spacious and perfectly reflects the mix of
old and new that characterizes this fascinating car, with a compact and functional driving position that invites sporty driving and a dashboard with simple, classic lines that houses complete and modern instruments.
The characteristic small Morgan steering wheel frames an instrument panel with large circular VDO gauges, while other gauges and controls are housed in the center of the dashboard.
The short gear lever is within easy reach on the large leather-covered central tunnel and the beautiful sloping windscreen allows for an excellent and evocative view of the long, sinuous-shaped bonnet.
At the wheel, sitting just a few inches from the road, we can enjoy the brilliant performance allowed by its extreme lightness and agility and all kinds of unique and inimitable emotions, with the half doors amplifying the sensation of extreme immersion in the surrounding environment and the pleasant sound of the engine.
The comfortable seats covered with excellent quality leather, the craftsmanship and the uniqueness of every detail fully convey the value of this exclusive custom-built model produced with techniques that have now been largely forgotten.
THE EXTERIOR
In very good general condition
Flawless bodywork
Morgan knock-off wire wheels with slight traces of oxidation
Soft top in good condition
Rear spare wheel
Luggage rack
Spotless brightwork
Clean underbody with no signs of wear
Distinguished by the classic chrome-plated grille, by the long rounded bonnet secured with the iconic leather straps, by the wide wraparound fenders with running boards and large circular headlights, the front of this Morgan is streamlined and dynamic as befits a true sports car from the good old days.
Its classic Old English White paint highlights a sinuous bodywork, in which the sweeping curves of the fenders end dramatically in the short, sloping tail, enriched by the spare wheel and chrome roof rack.
Numerous details of great charm attract the eye, such as the beautiful, impressive original Morgan knock-off wheels with slight traces of oxidation, the large bumpers, the small soft top and the four protruding rear lights, further enhancing the image of a solid and high quality car of great distinction and prestige.
THE MECHANICS
16v four-cylinder 2 litres DOHC engine with 136 hp
Five-speed gearbox
Only 30,500 km from new
Sport suspension
Always maintained with the utmost care
By opening either side of the beautiful center-hinged gull-wing bonnet secured with leather straps, the easily accessible engine compartment appears adequately clean and tidy.
Equipped with a modern two-litre Rover twin-cam engine, with good power and torque, thanks to its extreme lightness the Plus Four guarantees blistering acceleration and excellent pick-up, decidedly superior to those of any other contemporary four-cylinder sports car.
This Sport version is equipped with lowered sports suspension.
Having been used sparingly and having always been maintained with the utmost care, all the mechanics are original and in excellent condition, efficient and in good working order.
The seller assures that the car starts at the first turn of the key and idles and accelerates without any hesitation.
The wooden structural elements have been checked and are in very good condition.
Before delivery to the new owner, a thorough service will be carried out.
SUMMARY
None of the cars on sale in the last seventy years come close to the Plus 4's unique styling.
It ismainly for this reason that these exceptional cars are always at the center of attention and are admired by enthusiasts and non-experts alike.
Rich in timeless charm, they allow us to relive distant and ancestral emotions with a design resulting from the wisdom of automotive pioneers, tried and fascinating construction solutions and highly respectable performances, due to the careful reduction of weight and the skilful chassis design rather than to hugely powerful engines.
This Plus 4 represents an ideal compromise between tradition and innovation, with the original bodywork and the most classic and desirable finishes combined with modern, reliable and simple to maintain mechanics.
With extremely low mileage and presented in very good condition, it is a special and interesting opportunity for those who want to experience the inimitable driving pleasure of a true classic sports car.
