Just won 1st in class at Mogwest 2019. Drove 600 miles round-trip with no issues. It was owned by an original member and past President of the Morgan + 4 club of southern California who has raced, restored and shown countless Morgans. This is a CA car with a recently completed restoration. The restoration was started by another CA Morgan club member a few years ago and then the car was finished in 2018 by Derek Willburn, with his mother Barbara doing the interior. You might also want to check out this short feature on Derek, Man of Morgan watch?v=DdsvbrrWM1AAs is evident from the photos, this Morgan sparkles inside and out. The metal and wood are in excellent condition, as is the interior and running gear. The engine number on the block matches the ID plate near the firewall. The TR engine runs super strong. Derek opened up the engine and checked the rod bearings, etc. and all was in good order. Derek also rebuilt the dual Stromberg carburetors. The choke works like it should, and the engine fires up easily and settles into a smooth idle in no time at all. The engine is very healthy with a lot of power, and based on our experience with Morgan's, the engine was likely gently massaged with a hotter camshaft and perhaps other internal upgrades installed in the past. Oil pressure is strong. Headers are also fitted allowing the engine to breathe better. Her brakes use cross-drilled and vented rotors, and needless to say her braking ability inspires confidence. Steering and suspension are spot on, with nimble and precise handling. You will notice that lightweight Panasport 15 x 6 racing wheels and 185/65 Continental tires with fresh tread are installed, offering a wider track and even stronger handling than stock. Grab the new Moto Lita wooden steering wheel and toss her through the corners of your favorite road. You won't be able to wipe the grin from your face. The 4 speed Moss gearbox is among the best we've driven, allowing tight and smooth shifts through all gears. The clutch is adjusted perfectly, with just the proper amount of pressure needed to engage the pedal. All lighting and instrumentation works as it should. The gauges appear as new, with fresh and crisp faces and trim. New leather upholstery covers the seats and appropriate panels. New rubber mats line the floors and footwells, with new carpeting behind the seats.Side curtains in fair condition are also included, and top bows are installed yet there is no top. A tonneau cover is also included. Note too the custom fabricated badge bar, as well as the aluminum spare tire cover. The tire cover was custom made locally by Moon. The spare wheel is an original Morgan 15-inch disc painted to match the body color. Also, there are holes already drilled if the next owner would like to fit Brooklands aero type windscreens. The engine bay and undercarriage sparkle just as much as the exterior.This is obviously one rare and highly desirable classic British sports car - a beautiful and wonderful driving example of the last year for the legendary Triumph powered Plus 4 - an obviously always garaged example that was lovingly restored as necessary and which is showing only very minor signs of its age anywhere!The original Triumph 2,138cc engine purrs quietly under the hood and the Moss 4 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly through the gears - an absolute pleasure to drive! The car has 4 mag wheels, ventilated disc brakes, exhaust headers and boasts it's original matching #'s engine. Please note that the car will need a canvas top for it's soft top frame to complete the soft top but does still have its original side curtains, full weather tonneau cover and spare wheel.The Morgan Motor Company is a British motor car manufacturer that was founded in 1910 by Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan and based in Malvern Link, an area of Malvern, Worcestershire. Morgan originally made it's name building three wheel tricycles and did not make it's first four wheeled sports car until 1936 and Morgan cars still today produce some 850 cars per year, all assembled by hand, still in the same fashion of the original 1930's British sports car! The waiting list for a car is approximately six months, and has sometimes been as long as ten years. The bodystyle has changed little for decades. H.F.S. Morgan quit the Great Western Railway in 1904 and co-founded a motor sales and servicing garage in Malvern Link.In 1909 he designed and built a car for his own use. Previously he developed the first independent front suspension in the engineering shop of Malvern College. He began production a year later and the company prospered. Production of his legendary three wheelers approached 1000 by WW1 and quickly resumed with both racing and touring models. Morgan's first four wheeler came in 1936 with three wheelers eventually phased out in 1952. Morgan continued to run the company until he died at age 77 in 1959. Peter Morgan, son of HFS, ran the company until a few years before his death in 2003 when he was replaced as chairman by Alan Garnett, a non-family director, from 2003 to 2006. After Garnett's resignation, a four-man management team was set up. Charles Morgan (son of Peter), helped made up the new management team, and in 2010 was named managing director. In January, 2013, Morgan was removed as managing director, replaced by another director, but continued as strategy director until October 2013 when he was then removed both as an employee and member of the board of directors. This marked the end of over 100 years of Morgan family ownership.Morgan cars are unusual because wood has been used in their construction for a century, and is still used in the 21st century for framing the body shell. A visitor center and museum in Malvern, England have exhibits about the company's history from Edwardian times until the present day, developments in automobile technology, and a display of automobiles. There are also guided tours of the factory. Those who jest that Morgan automobiles have evolved at the same rate as the first fish that crawled out of the sea have never taken the time to study the iconic Plus 4. Not only did this model experience a number of notable visible changes in its 19 years of production, it used variants of five engines, each improving performance still further. The Plus 4 was Morgans premium sports car until being supplanted by the hot rod Plus 8, and thanks to its simple construction, excellent restoration parts supply and devoted enthusiast following, it remains one of the most highly sought models in this English firms 103-year history.Whilst its true that while the Plus 4 that debuted at the fall 1950 Earls Court Motor Show didnt look much different from Morgans supplanted pre-war 4/4 which it replaced but the new model featured a number of improvements. The Plus in this models name signified its significant power boost, courtesy of the 2,088cc, 68hp Standard Vanguard four-cylinder engine that Vehicle Warranty Mechanical inspections welcomed; if you wish to inspect the vehicle you must do so before bidding; upon request seller will be happy to deliver the vehicle to a local Torrance, CA or Santa Monica, CA mechanic of your choice for your prepaid inspection before the reserve price is met.
