Highlights

  • Long MOT - until 14th of June 2024
  • 4-seater
  • Genuine mileage
  • Enthusiast owned and maintained

The Appeal

The quintessential British classic open-topped sports car from Morgan that, although now 50 years old, runs and drives very sweetly providing huge fun behind the wheel.
Having sat waiting to be shipped to America by its previous owner for around 8 years this wonderful two-tone Morgan was purchased by the current owner in 2017 as an MOT failure with a list of issues that needed to be addressed. These issues have all been resolved over the last 6 years, the main one being the need to repair and weld the bulkhead, which was completed. 
The Morgan is currently MOT'd until the 14th of June 2024. All MOT history can be viewed on the DVLA website.
The car has been regularly maintained and driven by the current owner, who has used the car on sunny days only, keeping the car nice and warm in his garage when not in use.
