2004 Morgan Roadster V6

Highlights

• Finished in classic British Racing Green
• Reportedly retains factory-standard specification throughout
• Extensive service history with dealer visits documented in the service booklet and with invoices
• In current ownership for approximately six years
• Recently serviced with return-to-road work completed

The Appeal

Introduced as a replacement for the classic Plus 8, the Morgan Roadster brought V6 power to Malvern for the first time in the company's history. In other ways, the Roadster didn't stray far from the essential Morgan formula. It was a hand-built, ash-framed convertible delivering a raw, engaging driving experience that few modern cars can replicate.

This 2004 example is presented in British Racing Green and has been in the current owner's hands since 2020, when it was purchased from a Morgan dealer. Mechanically, the vendor states the car is sound, running and driving as expected. It has been recently serviced alongside return-to-road preparation, and the MOT is valid until October 2026 with just one advisory. It comes with an extensive service record, with book stamps, accompanying invoices and a significant collection of old MOT certificates.
The vendor says:
"It was always a dream to own a Morgan in British Racing Green and this car and the interior finishes more than live up to that. It's beautiful and feels so special driving round beautiful countryside on a summer's day."
