The Appeal
There’s an irrefutable charm to a Morgan. Much like a wisteria-laden thatched cottage, these cars evoke a bucolic image of the English idyll that has endeared them to enthusiasts the world over. That includes this left-hand drive export spec Plus 4. Classically finished in British Racing Green, this suave Englishman abroad remains as stylish as ever.
Morgan fans will doubtless have spotted that this is the comparatively rare four-seater tourer, boasting far greater carrying capacity for additional passengers or simply more luggage for those long cross-continental getaways. You’ve likely also seen that it sports the well-regarded 2,080cc Standard Vanguard engine, an engine for which spares are readily available, as are knowledgeable specialists who know exactly how to get the best out of them.
As the photographs attest, this car is gently patinated, as befits its age. There’s scope for the hands-on enthusiast to make a few cosmetic adjustments here and there, but this car is eminently presentable and indeed usable as it stands, ready to meet its new custodian. For fans of Malvern’s inimitable Morgan, Car & Classic is delighted to offer this unmissable opportunity.
