Introduced in October 1950, Morgan’s Plus 4 was produced through 1968. These models were powered by a Standard-Triumph dual-carbureted OHV engine mated to a Moss four-speed gearbox and, by 1960, offered a rated 100 bhp in the U.S. In particular, Morgan’s unique sliding-pillar front suspension design gives the car its unique, lively handling and sporting character.
