Reportedly driving very well and to be supplied with a fresh MOT
Presented in very usable condition, with a rich patina inside and out
Excellent project potential, as a highly desirable classic
The Appeal
Proudly holding the accolade of longest-running production vehicle in the world, Morgan introduced the 4/4 in 1936 as a nimble sports car and this ethos remained unchanged throughout its 82-year production run.
We’re pleased to offer this supremely usable 1983 example which exhibits a charming patina accrued through years of driving enjoyment. It remains very original inside and out, continuing to present well overall.
The vendor advises that some work will be needed to keep it on the road in future, although the general appearance of the car could be left exactly as-is should the next owner wish to preserve it. Reportedly driving impeccably and being supplied with a fresh MOT, this 4/4 would be the perfect entry-level Morgan as it’s brimming with potential.
