Description
The order for this Morgan 4/ 4 was placed at a motor show in November 1999, confirmed by a letter to the customer in the file from Morgan with an invitation to the factory in Malvern. Melvyn Rutter LTD supplied W187DHK in April of the year 2000 to its new keeper in Cambridge who retained ownership until 2024, covering just 29, 500 miles.
Walking around this first-class example, you are met with beautiful black paintwork draped over the sleek body lines. Its aggressive, low-slung stance is accentuated by bonnet louvres and bright chromework throughout. The black soft top is in brilliant condition and the side screens are also present with the car. Inside the car you are met with beautifully looked-after upholstery, instruments, and dials exampling its careful ownership. With its second owner, only a further 500 miles have been covered taking the total to 30050 with continued careful ownership.
The Morgan 4/ 4 is unique within the line up of 4-wheel Morgans as it is the smaller offering from the renowned British motorcar manufacturer. It offers an exceptionally nippy driving experience that has been honed from success in motor racing. The name was derived from having 4 wheels and 4 cylinders, a recipe that Morgan have perfected throughout their rich history.
The 1796cc 16V Ford Zetec Engine starts up giving a throaty roar through the exhaust that reassures the driver you are in a very capable car. Quickly progressing through the rev range, the engine feels exceptionally fit while changing through the 5-speed box is a very direct experience. Under braking and through corners, the Morgan is superbly surefooted and makes for a brilliant weekend toy.
