The Appeal
For decades, the Morgan Motor Company has been a rare bastion of period-style motors - an eccentric survivor that’s laden with character, offering modern mechanics with the finest of classic British aesthetics. The Morgan Roadster, released in 2004, offered a retro-style convertible with the joy of a charismatic Ford V6 powerplant. What more could you possibly need?
This example is one of the Brooklands Limited Edition - an exclusive number of fifty in traditional colour schemes to honour the legendary racing circuit, where Morgan themselves have often proven themselves.
This example - with only 24,845 genuine miles on the clock - is a spectacular one, that practically looks like it’s just rolled off of the production line.

The Exterior

Every Morgan is evocative, but there are few more evocative than the Brooklands Roadster. With its two-tone colour scheme and intense attention to detail, the car is a real looker, that captures the heritage of the racing circuit in style.
With minimal signs of wear, and a beautiful gloss to the paint, we rarely see a Morgan of any model come to us in such great order - so this particularly rare example has really turned our heads.
The Mechanics
- Impressive 3.7L Ford Cyclone V6 powerplant
- 6-speed manual transmission
- Engine bay is in excellent order and has clearly been well-kept
- The car only weighs 950kg - so it’s quite the mover!
- Special edition aero racing brake caliper and disk upgrades
- Valid MOT until March 2024 with zero advisories
Having clearly been pampered, it’s no wonder that this roadster’s engine bay is packed with a beautifully cared for Cyclone Powerplant. This provides a sharp 295bhp/tonne that offers seriously feisty performance.
The vendor notes that the car is driving superbly with no technical issues, and we’ve no reports of leaks, knocks, bangs or smoke when the car is on the road. The car’s excellent mechanical order is backed with its impressive service record.
Summary
Beautifully finished - and what a finish it is - this rare limited edition is one of the most prized Morgan Roadsters, and for excellent reason. Presented in excellent fettle through and through, we’re sure that this car will attract plenty of admirers - both during this auction and when out on the road with its lucky new owner.
