Market commentary
1953 was the last full year before Morgan moved from the 'flat rad' to the more familiar cowl radiator cars. Which one is better looking is up for debate, but prices donÆt vary widely even though flat rad cars are a bit rare. This result was on the modest side considering how fresh and gorgeous the restoration is, but the bidders may have discounted it for the 5-speed gearbox from an unknown source.
