Morgan Plus 4, year 2006. Finished in black with a red leather interior trimmed with black piping and black carpeting piped in red. Equipped with a black soft‑top and aluminium side screens with black door covers. This handsome Morgan Plus 4 was delivered new in Germany. With 42,000 kilometres recorded, the car moved to the Netherlands in 2015. It has now covered 73,000 kilometres from new, with the service history documented from 2015 onwards. The car is in excellent and perfectly maintained condition! Under the bonnet lies the superb 2.0‑litre Ford Duratec four‑cylinder engine, supplied by Ford’s Special Equipment division. This refined 16‑valve DOHC unit produces 144 hp and 190 Nm of torque, giving the 920‑kg Plus 4 lively and engaging performance. In 2016, the original kingpins and Vesconite bushes were replaced with hard‑chromed kingpins and brass bushes, a durable upgrade expected to last for many decades. The interior is beautifully appointed with a magnificent walnut dashboard, classic gauges with ivory‑coloured dials and chrome bezels, and traditional toggle switches. The red dash top and the Moto‑Lita steering wheel with leather rim complete the wonderfully classic and sporty presentation. The lower section of the dashboard was moved slightly rearwards, and a shield was fitted beneath the dashboard and steering column. The 12V cigarette lighter has been relocated to outside the glove compartment, and the battery master switch has been discreetly installed inside it. For improved visibility, Daytime Running Lights have been fitted. Reaction rods have been installed at the rear axle, and a protective plate has been mounted beneath the car to safeguard the crossmember and gearbox. Further features include wide chrome wire wheels fitted with Continental 205/60 R15 V tyres, and an original luggage rack that can be easily mounted or removed. This is a magnificent Morgan Plus 4 in excellent condition; a car that drives and feels like new!

The Morgan 4/4 was built for eighty-two years. The first model, introduced in 1936, was the 4/4 with the flat radiator, which remained in production until 1951. After a four‑year break, during which only the Morgan Plus Four was built, the Morgan 4/4 was reintroduced. The car did not change much, conservative as they are at the Morgan company, and the most noticeable alteration was the radiator shape, which changed from flat to cowled. Morgan never built their own engines. The early flat‑radiator cars were powered by Standard or Ford engines. The cowled‑radiator models were powered by Ford engines. The Ford engine used was known as the Kent engine and was also fitted in the Ford Cortina. Morgan 4/4 1600 cars were powered by the 1,599 cc Ford Kent engine, which had a standard output of 98 bhp. This gave the light car, 660 kg as a two‑seater and 785 kg as a four‑seater, very sporty performance. Drivers who wanted additional torque and power were offered the Triumph TR four‑cylinder engines, which produced 96 bhp in TR3 form or 105 bhp in TR4 form. These cars were named Plus Four. Later generations of the 4/4 were equipped with Ford CVH, Zetec, and Sigma engines, each bringing improved refinement while keeping the traditional Morgan character. The Plus Four also evolved and was eventually fitted with the 2.0‑litre Ford Duratec engine, producing 144 bhp and considerably more torque than any 4/4 variant. The four‑speed gearbox was fully synchronised. Later models used the Mazda MX‑5 five‑speed gearbox, well known for its precise and mechanical shift quality. The Morgan 4/4 is a very special car to drive because it has its own strong character. It cannot be compared with any other roadster or convertible. The 4/4 was discontinued in 2018 and the traditional steel chassis Plus 4 production ended in 2020. The Plus Four name continues in the new CX-Generation Plus four built on Morgan’s bonded aluminium platform and powered by the BMW 2.0‑litre turbocharged engine.
