Description

Highlights

  • Preserved by South Africa's dry climate
  • Substantially refurbished
  • Permanently imported to the UK with all duties and taxes paid, eligible for 'Historic' registration
  • All UK taxes and importation Duties paid and with UK registration all by seller

The Appeal

To this day, the Morgan remains perhaps Britain's best-known sports car. Hand-crafted in Malvern, Worcestershire, using traditional coahcbuilding methods, these characterful convertibles are immensely entertaining to drive, and feature styling so good, it has remained little-changed for over eight years.

This 1954 Plus 4 has been imported from South Africa, where the favourable climate has helped preserve it from the corrosion that so often afflicts Morgans in damper environments. Described as a pleasure to drive, it arrives in the UK awaiting registration.
Plus 4s of this era are sought after for their powerful 2.0-litre Triumph engines. This one appears very well preserved, so we're sure Morgan enthusiasts won't want to miss this opportunity to add it to their collection.
