Morgan 4/4, year 1963. Colour green combined with a black leather interior, black carpet, black soft-top, and a black tonneau cover. This vintage Morgan features a wonderfully shaped bench which offers ample comfort in this pure British sports car. This gorgeous Morgan 4/4 (series IV) was sold new in the UK, then it was painted red. It is a rare model of which only 209 examples were built by hand. In 1975 the car was imported to the Netherlands and refurbished. Originally, the car was fitted with a 1340 cc Ford Consul four-cylinder engine, the engine was replaced by a 1500 cc engine of the type used in the Morgan 4/4 series V. This powerful and reliable engine is fitted with a twin choke Weber carburettor and delivers a healthy 84 bhp. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a four speed manually operated gearbox. In the years 2001-2004 the automobile was extensively and beautifully restored to top condition. The red car was painted in the current green colour. The restoration is fully documented with a photo report and invoices. The chassis was renewed, as was the wiring loom. A Stainless-Steel exhaust was fitted, an aluminium petrol tank, and electronic ignition. Also, a revolution counter was fitted in the dashboard. The car shows many beautiful original details like the rare 15-inch steel wheels with chrome hub caps! Furthermore, a wide-beam fog lamp is fitted at the front, and a luggage rack ant the rear. This RHD Morgan 4/4 looks a picture and it drives perfectly! A very desirable example!

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.
