MORGAN PLUS 4

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show 2025 on Saturday the 22nd of March - Sunday the 23rd of March, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT.

First introduced in 1950, the Morgan Plus 4 was a fixture for the Morgan Motor Company for decades, running in parallel with the ready availability of the Standard Triumph four-cylinder engine

Constants included the ash-framed body, sliding-pillar front suspension, cut down doors, rudimentary weather protection, the springy Bluemels Brooklands steering wheel and the 'unique to Morgan' cream-coloured Smiths gauges

There were three body styles available: the standard two-seat roadster, the lovely drophead coupé (with a three position top and roll up windows) and as here, the four-seat roadster

First registered in 1958, this example spent some time in a Swiss Collection before moving to Spain where it was purchased by our vendor, returned to the UK in 2022 and has remained in his Collection since

Powered naturally by the Vanguard 2-litre straight-four engine coupled to a 4-speed manual gearbox, it presents well in gleaming red with very smart tan leather upholstery and 16" steel wheels

This bright little 1950s Moggie seems to have spent much of its time in various Collections and would probably appreciate some time on the open road
