Attractively presented in Metallic Graphite with Ox Blood hide, and having covered only 3,475 miles from new, this little 4/4 has obviously led a charmed life.
Originally ordered on 4th September 1976, through Deer Leap Garage in Berkhamsted, in the days when Morgan had an enviable order book, this particular 4/4 was destined not to reach its first owner, Mr F. N. Cory-Wright until 24th August 1983, with the specification changing from that originally ordered to the far more desirable vehicle which remains today as it left Malvern all those years ago. With the original owner travelling and working abroad as a Queens Messenger within the Diplomatic Corp, the car was destined to remain in storage for many years which it did until the owner's passing in 2016.
It is noted that the very low mileage was recorded at that time as just 1,745 with, interestingly, several of the diplomatic bags remaining with the car to this day. The family then made the difficult decision to pass the Morgan on to a new home and accordingly it was fully recommissioned by Allon White Sports Cars, Morgan Dealers of some repute, with £5,000 being invested prior to its sale in October 2017. Sold again, some eighteen months later having covered a nominal additional 607 miles, to make way for a new Morgan, the 4/4 is as original as it could be with the exception of a new Dark Red mohair roof topping off the outstanding Metallic Grey bodywork and Dark Red hide interior.
Featured in. The Essential Morgan Buyers Guide. by Phil Benfield, this exceptionally- low-mileage Morgan, now circa 3,500, comes highly recommended and is worthy of your serious consideration.
