For the increasingly affluent buyers the sleek and economical Morgan 4/4 stole their hearts and minds, despite not being the most powerful model in the range. At its launch in 1968 there was nothing wrong with the way it looked, but simply the lack of power from the engine. Morgan rectified this by fitting the Ford Kent engine which boosted the power to a more palatable 74bhp. The Plus 4 model was dropped with the option of 2+2 seating being passed on to the 4/4 line. It remained available in this form until 1982 when the Ford CVH engine used in the front-wheel-drive Escort was dropped in, thus improving power and economy once again by upping the output to 95bhp.

This special Morgan 4/4 benefits from being the property of just one careful owner from new, travelling just 31,000 miles in this time, but never being neglected. Accompanying the car is a thick folder of bills, invoices and receipts for regular maintenance and annual rust proofing. Though not claiming to be a concours car, this is a bright and honest vehicle in Brunswick Green with black interior and a charming patina of age.

It possesses the Ford Kent Crossflow 1600cc four-cylinder engine and full stainless steel exhaust system. It also houses four passenger seats making this a very family-friendly sports car.

The original sales invoice detailing accessories ordered, tonneau cover, hood bag, door mirrors, bonnet strap, spare wheel cover and 2 door handles accompany this car. With original toolkit, handbooks, comprehensive service records and every MoT supporting the mileage of just 31,000 miles, this is a superb, unmolested example ready for road use.
