1961 Morgan Plus 4

Description

Morgan Motor Company has long occupied a unique place in the sports car world, building hand-crafted automobiles that combine traditional ash-frame construction, lightweight design, and an unmistakably analog driving experience. Introduced in 1950, the Plus 4 paired Morgan’s timeless styling with Triumph-sourced power. The Plus 4 offered the charm and driving character of a classic British roadster while retaining enough practicality for touring.

This 1961 Morgan Plus 4 is a four-seat example reportedly documented in the enthusiast-oriented publication A Yank at Malvern. In the book, chassis number 4447 is noted as having received a number of improvements during a restoration.

According to the seller, the car underwent refurbishment work in the early 2000s and is powered by a 1,991cc Triumph inline-four equipped with dual SU carburetors, sending power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Finished in two-tone black and blue over two-tone brown and terracotta vinyl upholstery, the Morgan is equipped with a tan soft top, side curtains, tonneau cover, and boot cover.

This 1961 Morgan Plus 4 is now offered with a factory instruction booklet, a copy of A Yank at Malvern, service records, spare parts, a full-size spare tire, and a clean Texas title in the seller's name.
