The Appeal 

Characterized by nice and classic shapes, which represent a pleasant mix of the most attractive lines of the most popular British sports roadsters at the turn of the Second World War, the Moss Malvern is a respected and original kit car much loved by enthusiasts of the genre, for the high quality of its bodywork and its robust Triumph-derived mechanics. 
Launched between the seventies and eighties, during the most prolific era of British kit cars, the Moss Motor Company cars were inspired by the small, iconic and agile fifties roadsters like the Morgan Plus 4 and the MG TF.  
With a durable and attractive fibreglass bodywork factory supplied with a gelcoat finish, the Malvern, named from the city where the Morgan factory is located, is based on the solid foundations of the Triumph Herald.  
Extremely light and nimble, it offers 2+2 seating, allowing for funny and carefree family outings.
This particular Moss Malvern is the ideal pleasure car for sunny summer cruising. The engine runs well, the bodywork is in excellent shape, the upholstery is in good condition and everything is properly maintained and in perfect efficiency. 
The car comes with many useful parts and accessories such as a still packed soft top, a spare wheel cover and removable side windows. 
Sparingly used and carefully garage kept by its previous owners, this very rare lhd Malvern is ready to delight any enthusiast with its agility and its timeless charm.

Summary 

Original, fascinating and uncommon, with only about 350 examples made, the Moss Malvern is a very special vehicle and one of the most respected high quality British kit cars. 
Fun and entertaining as the famous roadsters to which it is inspired and much simpler to manage, due to the wide availability of spare parts for its robust and reliable Triumph underpinnings, this Malvern is a very attractive sports car, made even more special by the very rare left-hand drive and by the presence of the rear bench, which allows it to be used for pleasant and unforgettable outings with the whole family.
