Description
Very high specification low mileage 2001 4/ 4 4-seater in Corsa red in very good condition. Long door/ wide bodied model.
Price £29, 500 includes valuable number plate TNR 664 and badges which could be sold to reduce the purchase cost.
Mileage is currently 29, 881 and the car has been recently serviced and has an MOT to 4 September 2025.
Significant upgrades to the original specification include –
• STAINLESS STEEL WIRE WHEELS including the spare. These were purchased by me in 2017 to avoid a probable losing maintenance battle with the original chrome wire wheels.
• Installation of the SSL RS FRONT SUSPENSION in 2017 which considerably improves ride and handling.
• SIDE EXIT SPORTS EXHAUST which generates a beautiful purring sound. I previously owned another 4/ 4 4-seater with a conventional rear exit exhaust and the difference is significant.
• MOTA-LITA WOODEN STEERING WHEEL
• VERY HIGH SPECIFICATION LIBRANDS LUGGAGE RACK incorporating rear lights and indicators. This is no longer produced because of the substantial cost. It folds in such a way that all four screens can be carried in a specialised sidescreen bag (included, see below) with ample space remaining for a large suitcase - beautiful leather Morgan suitcase and straps available for separate purchase.
• CAR BADGES which include pre-war AA and Scottish RAC as well as three Morgan specific badges.
• Traditional and valuable number plate TNR 664 which dates from around 1957.
The car left the factory in September 2001 with a specification that included –
• Galvanised chassis
• Rustproofed
• Clock
• Airbags
• Leather seats
• Leather dashboard trim
• Wooden dashboard
• Aluminium body panels
• Stainless steel bumpers

Numerous smaller upgrades have since been made together with purchases and original items that are included in the sale –
• Librands short gearstick modification - seriously better than the original long gearstick.

• Two spoke hubcaps for wire wheels
• Sports gear knob
• Chrome instrument gauge dials

• Morgan sidescreen bag for four screens
• Winter protective cover
• Rain shower protector
• Spare handbrake cable
• Original owners handbook
• Chassis record (build) certificateThe car runs beautifully and in the seven years of my ownership has not required any engine oil between services. New timing belt and water pump fitted just over 2, 000 miles ago as a precaution, as not known when previously done. New tyres fitted about 7, 000 miles ago – tread depth at recent service was 7mm for all 4 fitted tyres. Services in last 7 years undertaken by Morgan agents or in accordance with Morgan specification.
I have a comprehensive documented history since I purchased the car in May 2017 and a lot of paperwork for the period 2001-2017.
The car ownership history is -
• 2001 - First sold by Life Motors Limited
• 2005 - Sold privately
• 2010 - Sold by Allon White Sports Cars (mileage 7, 982)
• 2013 - Sold again by Allon White Sports Cars (mileage 17, 457)
• 2017 - Sold to me by Perranwell Garage, Truro (mileage 22583)
Four of the five sales have thus been made by garages that were or still are Morgan authorised agents. I am the fifth owner although the V5C certificate shows five previous owners. This is because the car in 2010 was re-registered in the name of the owner’s wife prior to sale.
I am selling because personal circumstances mean that I am just not using the car enough. I would like to find a new owner who will look after and enjoy this beautiful classic car.
Please do not hesitate to ask any questions.
