Vehicle Description
Owning a Morgan is all about enjoying fine craftsmanship built in
the traditional way. It makes for exceptional cars with
discriminating rarity. And there have been the correct major
investments in this 1958 Morgan Plus 4 Roadster to keep it a true
solid driver's classic. So if you have a favorite road, this Morgan
should be the best way to celebrate it.
Morgans have a timeless sense of style. The sweeping fenders,
pontoon headlights, rear-mounted spare tire, and ash wood frame -
it is often hard to tell the difference between a Plus 4 roadster
built today and one that's over a half-century old. Of course, a
timeless appearance is also aided by the right investments. This
retains its classic hand-formed steel body, but the red paint was
traded in later for one of Morgan's shades of yellow. This was part
of a 12-year resonation process, and it was a labor of love
considering the consignor has had this car since 1962. Oh yes, this
one has been with the same owner for all but four years! The paint
was a thoughtful upgrade, and you know this by the glow of the
finish. Plus, there's a well-coordinated black giving a tasteful
contrast on the roof, side curtains, fender rubber strips, hood
strap, and even the spare wheel holder integrated into the body
design.
Of course, a Morgan was meant to be open to the world, and so you
get the same nice black contrast from the full black interior. And
this continues to look quite good after a new interior was
installed in 2013. The seats have the classic British look with a
shared back and individual bottoms. Morgans are a great lesson in
purist motoring, and so nothing gets in the way of enjoying the
old-world driving experience. You sit behind a proper Bluemel
Brooklands steering wheel and look out over a dash made or real
wood. You get a full set of Smiths gauges and the shifter is in
that perfect British position that feels like it's an extension of
your right arm. There's even a racing-style tonneau that comes with
the sale for those who like taking this out even in cooler
weather.
Under the hood (bonnet) is a 1991cc motor borrowed from the triumph
TR3. This engine is known for its legendary pep, especially with
the twin SU carburetors attached. Best of all, the more
mass-produced motor means maintenance is easy on your rare bespoke
Morgan. In fact, this one was even rebuilt in 2017. The driving
experience is maximized as you row through the gears of the
four-speed transmission and get the most out of this four-cylinder.
Your senses will go into overload as the wind whips through the
interior, and you help create the wonderful soundtrack from the
motor. It gives you an instant connection to this classic machine
that makes Morgans one of the most enthusiast-driven brands out
there.
The sale come complete with the owner's manual, maintenance
records, service manuals, build receipts, and restoration photos.
This is the old-world classic that has spent nearly all its life
under the same owner. That's the exact kind of story we all want on
our classics, but there's only one up for grabs. So hurry up and
call today!
