The Model:

The Morgan 4/4 holds a special place in British motoring history, having been produced by the Morgan Motor Company from 1936 until 2018. It was Morgan’s first four-wheeled car, with the 4/4 name denoting four wheels and four cylinders, distinguishing it from the company’s earlier three-wheeled models. From April 1993, the 4/4 was fitted with Ford’s 1.8-litre 16-valve Zetec engine, producing around 114 bhp. With a kerb weight of under 900kg, the result was a light, responsive and engaging traditional roadster, capable of 0–60 mph in around 8 seconds and a top speed of approximately 112 mph.

Sale Insight:

A very attractive example of the Zetec-powered Morgan 4/4, offered in a desirable colour combination and supported by an impressive history file. With low mileage, long-term recent ownership and significant maintenance expenditure on record, this 4/4 should appeal strongly to those seeking a usable, characterful and well-documented British sports car.
