1995 Morgan 4/4

This British family owned motor car company was founded by Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan in 1910. First arriving in 1936, the two-seat 4-4 was Morgan’s first model equipped with four, rather than three, wheels. The 4-4 designation referred to those special wheels and to the ‘four’ cylinder, 1122cc Coventry Climax engine that powered the sports car. After various evolutions through the decades, the mid-1990s saw the 4/4 with a galvanised chassis and powered by a 1796cc Ford Zetec engine with a five speed gearbox. The fact that the 4/4 is still in production today proves its practicality on modern roads and its enduring appeal.

This good example from 1995 benefits from continuous MOT test certificates from new, confirming a genuine mileage of some 31000 miles, and an all-important full service history. The sporting car has been well maintained throughout its life and in 2014, we understand it underwent some restoration which included the repair of any rusted areas and a specialist full body respray. The paintwork is now described as remaining in very good order, and the body, floor, chassis and underside etc are all good and solid. Last year, the chassis members were cleaned and painted with Hammerite.  We understand the interior to be original and very smart, apart from some entry wear to the driver’s side capping. The original hood is very good, as are the tyres, the wire wheels do have some corrosion.

Mechanically, the vendor reports no known faults; the cambelt was replaced in 2020 and the Morgan will be freshly serviced before the auction sale.

The history file contains the aforementioned service records, invoices and MOT test certificates (dating back to 1998), together with the V5C registration certificate.

ADDENDUM:

Also included in the file is a book on the 4/4 by Michael Palmer and the original leather handbook wallet and handbook.
