SUMMARY
Offered to market from its first and only keeper, having covered a mere 2,200 miles from new, this 4/4 is surely the best one of its kind.
DESCRIPTION
The Morgan 4/4 was first introduced in 1936 and remained in production for 83 years until 2019, making it one of the longest running production models in automotive history earning both the model and the manufacturer a spot in the Guinness Book of Records. The 4/4 maintained Morgan’s ethos by being traditional, lightweight and dynamic with a box-section ladder-frame chassis mated to a traditional body construction with an aluminium skin over an ash wood frame. In 1993 the 4/4 was offered with Ford’s 1800 Zetec engine which was faster, cleaner and more frugal than its predecessors. With a kerb weight of just 868kg, a revvy DOHC engine and rear-wheel drive, this British built sports car was everything Morgan wanted it to be.
Finished in Indigo Blue over Stone leather, this delightful 4/4 presents in exceptional condition, commensurate with its warranted ultra-low mileage of just 2,200 miles from new. Additionally, it is a one-owner vehicle, still showcasing the factory chalk marks on the hood. The vendor had to wait nearly ten years after submitting the initial order form to receive the car due to high demand and the hand-built nature of Morgan. It comes with the original order form from Mike Duncan Morgan agents, confirming that P522 NOE was specifically ordered in Indigo Blue with Stone trim, complemented by blue piping, blue carpets and stone piping, and a Walnut dashboard. Included with the vehicle are various documents, such as old MOT paperwork, the original order form, the handbook, sales brochure, and the current V5C Registration Document.
The vendor personally collected the car from the factory and is now offering it for sale having cherished and evidently adoring the car for 27 years, but due to the impracticalities of a small, low sports cars the car is no longer able to be driven comfortably, so the time to move it on has arrived.
With a lovely specification that complements the car well, this 4/4 represents serious value with every collectible box ticked.
