Description
Introduced in 1936 the Morgan +Plus was the Morgan Motor Company’s first car with four wheels – the model designated 4/ 4 stood for 4 wheels and 4 cylinders. Always a popular choice for sports car enthusiasts across the globe the combination of 1930’s styling with modern performance and reliability has ensured this car is as popular today as it was in 1936.
Milestones marketed this stunning Morgan during 2022 when we sold her to a retired engineer and regular Milestones customer who was looking for an exceptional classic to use for holiday motoring.
Specification:
Ordered on 30th May 1997 from Wykehams Ltd (Reece Mews, London SW7) Mr. Mike Thompson ordered his beloved Morgan as a retirement present to himself fulfilling a dream that he had held for around 30 years – he had saved a deposit in his youth, but these funds were diverted to the purchase of a new house when he and his wife married.
A visit to the dealership in September 2000 finalised the specification:
· Paint - Connaught Green paint
· Interior - Autocalf Connolly leather (dark hide)
· Sports Seats
· Hood – PVC Black
· Carpet – Black
· Galvanised Chassis + Undersealing/ Rust Proofing
· Organ Type Accelerator
· Driver & Passenger Airbag (rare option)
· Upgraded Audio
Today the Morgan looks simply stunning having been the pride & joy of both the previous owner’s, always garaged, serviced every year and rarely driven in the rain. The only addition to the factory specification is the chrome luggage rack professionally fitted to enhance the vintage appearance of the Morgan and to provide some additional practicality for road trips and weekends away.
History:
The history folder is one of the best we have seen with correspondence from 1997, Morgan’s are unique as in having a history folder older than the car!
The file contains the original dealer’s letter (1997), Acknowledgement of Specification (2000), all pre-delivery letters from Wykehams, all MOT’s, every service stamp (last service October ’24) and invoices - this car has simply never wanted for anything.
Recent Expenditure:
· New Matching Tyres x 5
· Wheels - Black Powder Coated
· Replacement Battery
· Replacement Door Mirrors/ Interior Mirror
· Replacement Door Handles/ locks/ Petrol Cap
· Replacement Fuel Pump
· Replacement Radiator/ Mesh Grill
Used for trips down through Spain, South of France, around Scotland and weekends away the car has covered a warranted 26k miles from new.
Today the Morgan drives as good as she looks. The 1800cc Ford engine and 5 speed gearbox makes this a very capable car - to understand the allure of these iconic sports cars you really do have to drive one, they tick every classic box.
