More than a Plus-4 but not a Plus-8, between them is a Plus-4
Roadster. This Morgan has had the same owner since 1996. It is sold
on a actual mileage title with the miles in 1996 at 29,013, now
showing 29,078 miles. Dressed in British Racing Green over black,
the paint and trim are in overall very good condition. The
roadster?s body is straight and the chrome bumpers fit tightly to
the body. This Morgan rolls on 165R15 radials, each one mounted on
a steel wheel each with a factory center cap. A rear-mounted spare,
a Dunlop Gold Seal, size 5.60-15, is mounted on a green steel
wheel. Front disc brakes became standard in 1960. A 2.0L OHV
Lawrencetune four-cylinder engine was fitted with a fully-balanced
crankshaft and flywheel, along with pistons and connecting rods.
Other modifications included a fully polished and gas-flowed
cylinder head, oil cooler, a special camshaft, and a four-pipe
exhaust system. Backing this engine is a four-speed manual
transmission. The bonnet of the Triumph-engined Plus 4 fitted so
closely to the engine that there was no room for an air filter. The
fuel gauge is inop and the speedo fluctuates. Inside, a black
leather interior is in original good order, as was the matching
carpet, a four-spoke Banjo steering wheel and instrumental panel
with woodgrain are in very good order. The inner door liners and
floor-mounted shifter are in good, original order but the fuel
gauge is inoperable and the speedometer fluxuates. A passenger-side
mounted AM radio completes the interior. The roadster comes with
top bows but does not have a fabric top currently installed. The
Plus 4 at its introduction was fitted with a 2.1L Standard Vanguard
engine installed on a widened and strengthened 4/4 chassis with a
wheelbase lengthened by four inches. Hydraulic brakes, initially
all drum, were fitted for the first time on a Morgan. In 1953, a
higher performance version was announced with the 2.0L I4 engine as
used in the Triumph TR2 (a development of the Vanguard motor). The
radiator grille was now surrounded by a cowl that blended into the
bonnet. Front disc brakes became an option in 1959 and were
standardized in 1960. From 1955, the 2.0L Triumph TR3 engine was
used and from 1962, the engine was the Triumph TR4 unit, which
increased displacement to 2.1L. This 61 year old Morgan drives out
nicely! In 1955, the less powerful 4/4 model re-appeared in phase
II form. The 96-inch wheelbase of the Plus 4 was adopted by the 4/4
when it reappeared, after which the two models were for most
purposes the same length and width. Body styles available were a
two-seat sports, four-seat sports and more luxurious two- or
four-seat drophead coup?. Documentation includes original
instruction book. Following success at Le Mans a higher performance
version, the Plus 4 Super Sports, was available from 1962 with a
tuned engine and a lightweight body. Just over 100 were built. VIN:
