For Sale: 2005 Morgan Roadster in Mesa, Arizona

Owning a Morgan is all about enjoying fine craftsmanship built in the traditional way. It makes for exceptional cars with discriminating rarity. And this may look like a 50+ year-old sports car, but since this is actually a 2005 Morgan Roadster, you're going to discover some worthwhile modern features - like fuel injection. So if you have a favorite road, this Morgan should be the best way to celebrate it.

Morgans have a timeless sense of style. With the sweeping fenders, pontoon headlights, rear-mounted spare tire, and ash wood frame - it's often hard to tell the difference between a Roadster built today and a Plus 4 model from the 1950s. Of course, a timeless appearance is also aided by proper care. The classic hand-formed steel body looks good in black. This is believed to be the factory application, and on a car that has averaged under 1900 miles annually, it continues to have a good gloss glow to let the sunshine show off all the car's curves. We like the tasteful additions, like the front driving lights and rear custom luggage. And all the classic details, from the leather strap over the hood (bonnet) to the wire wheels with genuine knock-off hubs, deliver the feeling of a true classic European sports car. So the overall impression is a proper driver that still would never be accused of being a road warrior.

There is a nice black roof for when you want to get the sunshine off your shoulders, but really, a roadster like this was meant to be open to the world. After all, the full ark green interior looks elegant against the black exterior. As you look around inside, you realize that this is the true advantage of a later model Morgan. There are features here that were not around in the previous decades. It includes nicely contoured bucket seats, shoulder seatbelts, an airbag steering wheel on a tilt column, a passenger airbag, power front disc brakes, and an AM/FM radio with auxiliary input. You even have full provisions for modern R134a air conditioning (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) You still get the right classic features like a beautiful wood dash and a shifter in the ideal position that feels like it's an extension of your right arm. So it's updated for more modern times while still delivering the proper vintage charm.

The Morgan Roadster generation is also great for a more modern powerhouse. The 3.0-liter Duratec V6 was used by everyone across the Ford family from Mercury to Jaguar, and it found a useful home in the Morgan, too. After all, it was quite a bit more powerful than many previous motors used in other generations of this lightweight car, and you also have the ease of electronic fuel injection. The driving experience is maximized as you row through the gears of the five-speed transmission. 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.

Rare, beautiful, and always a class act - a Morgan provides true motoring pleasure. Call today!!!
