Equipment
933/36hp Ford side-valve engine, 4-speed, painted wire wheels, Coker tires, dual wing mirrors, modern lap belts, original Smiths speedometer, later Smiths oil pressure gauge, banjo steering wheel, side exhaust.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Rear wheel looks cocked to one side. Dull old paint and brightwork. Lots of scratches on the hood. Plenty of dirt and wear underneath. Lightly worn inside as well. In driver condition, and bordering on being in need of restoration, even though it is represented as having a body-off redo in 2001. Still looks like a barrel of laughs, though, even if the speedo only goes up to 70.
Market commentary
Sold at Branson Spring in 2014 for $21,330 and no better here for the passage of time. While the sidevalve four doesn't have the appeal of the vee twin motorcycle engined Morgans it will get its owner into the same events and the model even has proved itself on track. Unsold here, the seller took it to the Leake Dallas auction two weeks later and let it go for $19,500 hammer, $21,450 with commission, essentially the same price it brought two years ago in Branson, but a barrel of laughs in the meantime.
