1997 Morgan Plus 4

Highlights

  • Drives beautifully with crisp gear changes
  • 1994cc I4 engine with 5-speed manual transmission
  • Unique colour blend of Jaguar Red with beige roof and interior
  • Meticulously maintained with only light usage in Spring and Summer

The Appeal

The Morgan Motor Company may well go down as one of the automotive world's greatest - and most curious - stories. Founded in 1910, the company is still based in Malvern, still building cars, and is one of the last bastions of the Great British wood-framed roadster. Cue the Morgan Plus Four - which was in production from 1950 all the way up until 2020. These beautiful, unconventional cars are still big crowd-pleasers. After all, who doesn't love retro-style top-down motoring?
This particular example stands out due to its meticulous maintenance, low mileage and a beguiling Jaguar Red colour scheme. If you're after a retro-styled roadster with modern mechanics, this is the car for you.
