1989 Morgan Plus 4

Highlights

• In current ownership since 2015
• Regularly maintained by Morgan specialist Brands Hatch Morgan
• Royal Ivory over Mulberry colour scheme
• Three former registered keepers
• MOT valid until June 2027

The Appeal

The Morgan Plus 4 holds the distinction of being the longest-running production car nameplate in history, and throughout that production period, it saw remarkably little change. That hand-built, ash-framed nature makes for a real 'back-to-basics' sort of machine, perfectly pairing nostalgia with lightweight bodywork and analogue thrills.

This handsome Royal Ivory over Mulberry example has been in the current owner's care for over a decade, during which it has benefited from consistent specialist attention, maintaining much of the car's originality. Accompanied by a fresh MOT, and ready and waiting for its lucky new keeper, we expect this car will garner plenty of well-deserved attention at auction.
