Equipment
RHD. 3,528/168hp Rover V8, 4-speed, alloy wheels, Dunlop SP Sport tires, Moto-Lita woodrim steering wheel, Kenwood stereo, rear-mounted spare, driving lights.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Good paint but otherwise a used car not up to the usual standards of the Messenger cars but still a choice piece that needs only recommissioning to be appreciated and enjoyed.
Market commentary
The early cars in the Messenger estate collection were enjoyable but not exceptional and largely stock, as this Morgan is. What may have been in Jim Messenger’s mind could have been something more with the B-O-P V8 leveraged with performance enhancements seen in the later cars from this collection. As it is, though, the new owner got serious Morgan performance for a bargain price, a really good deal.
