MotoeXotica Classic Cars is proud to present this 1959 Morgan 4/4
Series 2 Roadster. This particular example was made on August 19,
1959 in Worcestershire, England then sent to Windsor Motorcycles in
Windsor, Ontario, Canada. We originally purchased this Morgan in
2018 from the gentleman who restored the car. We then immediately
sold the Morgan to a prominent collector in California.
Unfortunately, he passed away shortly after receiving the car and
we have recently purchased the roadster back from his estate.
During his ownership he only added about 40 miles to the car and it
was always stored away inside. It left the factory with the
following equipment ? USA certification, heater, tonneau cover,
less badge bar and passenger lamp. The roadster's black paint and
trim are in excellent condition. The windscreen is in very good
order while the car?s lights, bodywork are all in excellent order.
There are even rock guards protecting the headlights. This car
rolls on Michelin radials, size 155R400, at all four corners. Each
radial surrounds a gray, vented steel wheels with chrome center
caps. The engine bay is extremely tidy, the car?s bumpers fit
tightly to the body and the rear spare tire and wheel matches the
other four. Under the vee-shaped hood is a 1991cc four-cylinder
engine backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Inside, the
car?s red leather bucket seats are in great shape, while the
contrasting black carpet also looks vibrant. The four-spoke,
banjo-style steering wheel is in excellent order. The inner door
panels topped with red trim look great and the instrument panel,
with its warm stretch of burled wood and complete set of gauges,
looks fantastic. This vehicle is a radio delete model. The Series
II, now the 4/4 rather than the 4-4, was introduced in 1955 with
386 built by October 1960. Although very similar in appearance to
the old 4-4 it was virtually a new car with a chassis based on the
one used in the Morgan Plus 4. The traditional independent front
suspension using sliding pillars and coil springs was fitted with a
rigid axle and semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear. Disc wheels
were fitted as standard items. Hydraulic brakes with nine-inch
drums were fitted. ?Competition? form with Aquaplane head
conversion, twin S.U. carburetors and an improved gearshift
linkage. Inside there was a bench seat back and individual squabs
covered in PVC, with leather as an option and rubber floor
covering. A heater was available as an option as was a rev counter
and more surprisingly, direction indicators. In 1956, The Motor
Magazine tested a Series II and recorded a top speed of 75.3 mph
acceleration from 0-60 mph in 26.9 seconds and a fuel consumption
of 29.2 mpg. Competition to this Morgan in 1959 included Aiken?s
D2, Berkeley?s B95 Twosome, Ford?s Consul Mk. II Convertible,
Hillman?s Minx Convertible Coupe and Moretti?s 750 Spyder. This car
is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri.
Current mileage on the odometer shows 37,799 miles. It is sold as
is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt California
title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! VIN: A511?EIN: 154763? Note: Please see
