1962 Morgan Plus4
The Morgan Motor Company Limited is a British car manufacturer that was founded all the way back in 1910. They are a unique small company located in Malvern employing only 220 people. The are still making cars all these years later but have retained their experience in limited production vehicles making approximately 630 car per year as of 2025. They are also unusual in the fact that wood from the ash tree has been used in their construction for a century. This 1962 is the +4 roadster that was delivered in July of 1962. A limited number were sold in the US so those still in existence in the states is unknown. This one is a very clean example that was totally restored in 2008. It has been kept very original and is very clean. These had a handcrafted aluminum body over an ash wood frame. The body is all solid and painted in a nice combination of British Racing Green with Black fenders. The chrome grill has a beautiful shine and sits behind the chrome bumper which has a bumper mounted center light and the very cool "Morgan Sports Car Club" medallion. It is primarily driven as a roadster but there is a Black cloth top which raises and fits nicely in place. The car has a great stance and rides on a set of spoke wheels which are true knock offs which you don't see often. It also has the very cool rear mounted spare that is inset into the body.
As you might have guessed from the name under that 4 piece hood sits an Inline 4 motor. It runs great and has been fitted with twin carburetors and a chrome valve cover. That is then paired with a 4 speed manual transmission that shifts smooth and makes it very fun to drive. The brakes and suspension are all the stock set up but were totally gone through during the restoration.
The interior does house 2 seats which is a bench but it has a split bottom. That split allows for the transmission hump and the floor shifter has a wood grain shifter knob. The dash is all wood grain as well and topped with all your gauges and controls. It also features the standard open glove box. The 3 spoke wood grain steering wheel is in excellent condition and this car is the left hand drive version.
This car runs and drives great. It gets a ton of attention with most people not being able to identify it at first. Being that the car was sent in 1962 to Fergus Motors, a historic New York Importer, it is one of the models built specifically for a customer in the US. It would make a great addition to any collection.
This rare sports car could be yours $52,500.00!
