SUMMARY
A superb survivor, this Morgan F4 combines the company’s traditional chassis with a Ford sidevalve engine, the midway point between the three and four-wheeled Morgan eras.
DESCRIPTION
Background:
HFS Morgan's first three-wheeler of 1910 coincided with an upsurge of interest in cyclecars. Its superior power-to-weight ratio enabled Morgan's humble three-wheeled cyclecar to outperform many a larger-engined four-wheeler, and its maker was not slow to capitalise on his creation's competition potential.
A Gold Medal in the 1911 London-Exeter-London Reliability Trial with Morgan himself driving was followed by victory in the inaugural cyclecar race at Brooklands the following year, Harry Martin taking the chequered flag three minutes ahead of the field.
Of simple construction with front-mounted motorcycle engine and 2-speed chain transmission, the Morgan was light, fast and economical to run. V-twin engines from a wide variety of manufacturers were employed, though those from JA Prestwich predominated. Competition from small sports cars forced the adoption of a three-speeds-and-reverse gearbox in 1931, the last 2-speed model leaving the factory the following year.
A more refined version - the F4, with 8hp Ford Model Y four-cylinder power unit - appeared soon after and later would form the basis of the first four-wheeled Morgan
The car:
This particular 1938 car is the true definition of a survivor, giving away very little of its 86 years.
The F4 presents very well with excellent paintwork. The chassis is in excellent condition as is the ash frame, the true heart of any Morgan. The engine starts readily and runs extremely well.
Amazingly, this Morgan has had only six previous owners, despite its years, largely thanks to the original, who is said to have owned the car for the first half-century of its life.
A huge history file is present, covering most of the vehicle’s life, along with a reproduction buff logbook.
Summary:
This delightful Morgan’s first owner wouldn’t part with it for half a century, bearing witness to the enduring charm of these hand-built Malvern marvels. Will you be the next to fall under its spell?
