The best combination of 'good history,' 'great condition.' and 'very original.'
Last owner for 35 years and he purchased it from the car's first owner. Always garaged. Starts instantly, runs and drives like new.
Engine rebuilt 10,000 miles ago. Stays at 75 psi oil pressure when warm on a hot day, zero smoke, smooth, excellent driving. Probably the best Moss gearbox I have ever encountered with (by Moss standards) 'beyond belief synchromesh action. Excellent brakes, steering, ride, on and on. Literally like going back in time.
A few small chips (that have been touched up) but otherwise, excellent body and paint (in Old English White)k. And chrome. And trim. Incredibly well preserved leather seats, original rubber matting, absolutely beautiful wood dashboard, excellent creme faced gauges (a note: for whatever reason, the classic creme faced gauge decals seemed to have been photo sensitive and are often cracked and peeling. These are the best I have ever seen). Even the grille and windshield frame chrome are all excellent.
Has a very good top, side curtains and tonneau. Matching tan seat belts. Original heater. And a proper banjo style Brooklands style steering wheel.
Details, details, details. New windshield, Derrington exhaust system, GM alternator, high torque reduction gear starter motor, Koni shocks, O degree camber plates (for superior handling), more efficient cooling fan, badge bar, wind wings, Silicone brake fluid, original Morgan jack,Sradiator air scoop, new fuel tank......this car has been carefully and properly serviced by a long time Morgan enthusiast. And the results are evident.
sure, we all love the aesthetics of Morgans BUT when one actually drives one, all too often, hard steering, stiff ride, crashing gears due to worn synchromesh, wobbly front end, vibrations, and (as they get older and older) SU carbs in need of rebuilding, worn rocker assemblies, low oil pressure, worn out cooling system, frayed wiring, rod knocks during start up.........NOT this car. A really great Morgan of one of the best years of production
Sufficiently old to have the classic creme gauges and switches. But sufficiently new to have disc brakes. Wire wheels (one of the best and most desirable factory options), and so much more that can be added.....folding windshield brackets with Brooklands racing screens on the cowl behind the windshield, luggage rack, dual master cylinder kit, even a five speed transmission kit, even though 63 years old, is easy to update yet retain the utter simplicity of the early cars.
A great Morgan certainly capable of many many years of wonderful use for its next owner.
