A British motoring icon of the early 1930s, this 1935 Morgan F-4 three-wheeler has had homes in Hawaii, Northern California and Florida, where it was stored in a shed for approximately 10 years until a new owner took possession of it and treated it to a complete nut-and- bolt restoration to original as-new condition. The entire drive train including its Ford side-valve 4-cylinder engine was disassembled and received a full overhaul using new components as needed. All the Ash for the frame was either refurbished or replaced in keeping with the car’s original construction.
The wings, bonnet, and side panel were stripped bare and then worked to their present showroom condition, and the interior completed in tasteful Tan upholstery to add further flair to this already attention-grabbing British classic. No expense was spared in restoring this piece of history, a fact reflected in the finished product, which has exhibited perfect Morgan F-4 road manners and performance on Florida highway test runs since the completion of the restoration. Over 500 hours of care and attention have gone into this British charmer’s restoration to full period correctness, and it is fully ready for both spirited driving and exhibition.
