About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

The shut lines are not very good and the doors stick out at the bottom. Very good paint and chrome. Very good fully restored interior. Spotless underneath. Fully restored about 10 years ago, and shown at concours events including Ault Park and Amelia Island. One of 26 built. A significant example of Morgan's most notorious yet most collectible model.

Market commentary

Morgan debuted the Plus Four Plus at Earls Court in 1963. This example is the very car that they unveiled, and it has since been restored to fairly high standards in its original colors. Ironically, while the Plus Four Plus was almost universally shunned at Earls Court by the Morgan purists who so dislike any kind of change, it has since become their most valuable production model. This example is either the most famous or the most infamous of the 26 built, depending on how you look at it. The bidders seemed to come down on the side of infamous for this no reserve lot, which brought barely half of Worldwide's ambitious but realistic low estimate.
