Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome 15-inch wire wheels, blackwall radials, 45DCOE 152 Spanish Webers, uprated engine, Derrington wood rim steering wheel.

Condition

The 1964 London Motor Show car, one of just 26 Plus Four Plus Morgans built, a dramatic departure from Morgan tradition and sufficiently frightening that traditionalists rushed to order Plu Four roadsters, possibly saving the company. Freshly restored to better than new condition with better paint and interior and a 170-180hp engine.

Market commentary

Opinion among the auction onlookers was divided on the Plus Four Plus, as it always has been. Some noted the Lotus-like brief, shapely body. Others couldn't wrest their attention from the bulbous roof. The modifications probably had little effect on perceptions, as they were more than offset by the quality of the workmanship, materials and attention to detail. Once its showcar career is over it promises to be a scintillating road car and one that will always attract attention, although not always positive.
