Prized as a perfectly nostalgic but utterly fun twist on the classic British sports car, the Morgan 4/4 first hit the market in 1936 as the company's first four-wheeled motor. The result was an exercise in stubborn traditionalism - even as it became increasingly eccentric and out-of-kilter, the ash-framed roadster stayed quintessentially retro.
All in all, the 4/4 maintained production all the way up until 2018 - with its final form, a Ford Sigma-engined 1.6L - often credited as being one of the most exciting iterations of the car out on the open road.
This particular 2014 example comes to us in a classic colour scheme of black and tan, and has been very well maintained throughout its two-owner history. Loaded with plenty of extras, this is a highly desirable example of a much-loved, quintessentially British sports car.
